Physical Science is
important for learners hoping to follow a scientific career and
essential for anyone considering taking Medicine, Engineering, Chemistry or
any form of Science degree / diploma. The course gives any learner a basic
understanding of physical principles and materials in the world around her.
In the Senior Certificate examination, learners are examined on the
Grade 12 syllabus as well as slightly more than half of the Grade 11
syllabus, so there is a great deal of work to be learnt and revised for the
final examination.
Physical Science is a mathematical subject and it requires the
ability to reason logically and to solve numerical problems. Thus it demands
a good grasp of the concepts and not just learning. For this reason learners
may only choose this subject if they are also taking Mathematics. Learners
may not necessarily be accepted into this subject, as only a limited number
of places will be available. |
