UNIT 6: APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE Unit 6: Applications of Physical Science Level: 1 and 2 Unit type: Mandatory Guided learning hours: 30 Assessment type: Internal Unit introduction Scientists have been vital in improving safety in everyday life and in developing many modern technologies by applying their knowledge of forces, waves and electricity. You will develop an understanding of motion and how it relates to road safety. You will also have the opportunity to find out how to represent motion graphically and to carry out investigations, for example, on the way speed cameras operate. Following on from this, you will develop your understanding of forces and how they are used in applications such as weight measurement or car safety. This theme could be continued through to the investigation of the motion of vehicles. You will also investigate light and find out, for example, how the reflection of light is used to make our roads safer. You could also explore how the human eye functions and how eye glasses are used to correct defects in vision. Finally, you will investigate how electricity is used in our world, looking at practical uses of electricity by building circuits. The aim of this unit is to build on the fundamental concepts you have learnt in Units 1 and 3. In this unit you will apply your knowledge and understanding to explore and investigate a range of applications of physics in the real world. Learning aims In this unit you will: A investigate motion B investigate forces C investigate light and sound waves D investigate electricity.
