Rosmini College
NCEA Level 1 Physics and Earth and Space Science
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Smith.
Engaging in Physics, Earth and Space Science will help ākonga to engage with different career options and pathways, and further study.
Technical skill learning around inquiry approaches, including interpreting evidence, and creating models and representations of physical phenomena will support ākonga in a range of pathways related to engineering, environmental management, scientific development, technology, or data analysis.
The concepts covered in this course will develop an understanding of:
- human-induced change within the Earth system.
- a physical phenomenon through investigation.
- the effect on the Earth of interactions between the Sun and the Earth-Moon system.
- energy in a physical system.

Recommended Prior Learning
Students should have some competency in Mathematics and Science.
Pathway
The ability to interpret and communicate information about complex issues will help ākonga to make informed, responsible decisions related to themselves, their communities, and the world. Aside from everyday life, this will also set up ākonga to pursue pathways in community development, business management, and policy making. Understanding of how Earth’s systems interact and how human actions impact Earth and space systems provides a strong foundation for pathways relating to sustainability and ecosystems.
This course will lead the pathway to levels 2 and 3 Physics and Earth & Space Science courses.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2024 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2023. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2024 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
