Web Changes

This is where I will announce the most recent additions to my web site. If you've been here before and want to know what's changed, look here first.

			New Material

• I have recently expanded Force Worksheet 1 to include all dot points from 8.4.2.5 to 8.4.2.10.  I have provided full worked solutions and sample answers to this worksheet at the end of the questions.
   
• The Search page was updated on 23/6/11.  Unfortunately, the EDNA (Education Australia Network) site has now been decommissioned.  Thus, I have had to remove the link to it on the Search page.
   
• The Accuracy, Reliability & Validity page in the Resources section has been updated & renamed Measurement & Errors.  It contains much more information than previously.
   
• A whole new section of this website is under construction.  This will cater for the Australian Physics Curriculum being developed by ACARA.  Much work remains to be done.
  
  
   
• Visit my Blog - I use this to make comments on various aspects of education and important related issues.
   
• View changes to HSC Physics (& other Science) Exam answer booklets from 2011 onwards.
   
• Minor changes were made to the Stage 6 Physics Syllabus for 2010.  The changes consist of the addition of one outcome to the Preliminary Course 8.1 Physics Skills Module and one outcome to the HSC Course 9.1 Physics Skills Module.  The changes can be viewed at:

  Teachers will need to make appropriate changes to assessment tasks to ensure that students have opportunities to demonstrate the achievement of these outcomes.
   
• I have not had time to add new material to my Religion Page.  Some of the material there is of use to the new Preliminary & HSC Courses in Studies of Religion but most of it is for the old syllabus.  Have a look anyway.  There are some links to very useful religion sites on the Links Page.
   
• Note that on 27th January 2003 this site was completely updated in line with the amendments to the Stage 6 Physics Syllabus announced by the Board of Studies (BOS) in October 2002.  These amendments were for implementation from 2003 onwards.  Likewise, this site has been completely updated in line with the minor amendments to the Stage 6 Physics Syllabus announced by the BOS on 7 December 2006 for implementation in the 2007 Preliminary & HSC Courses.
