VCE PHYSICS EXCURSION TO LUNA PARK

The great thing about Physics is that every day we experience its effects on us and there is no better place to experience its' extreme effects than Luna Park! With topics like circular motion, projectile motion and energy transfers in Year 12 Physics, the rides at Luna Park provide ideal conditions to deepen an understanding of the forces and motion involved.

The Year 12 Physics students attended one of the VicPhysics Luna Park days in early March where they spun themselves silly on rides such as the Enterprise, Pharaoh's Curse, Dodgem Cars and Power Surge. Apart from feeling a bit queasy, this experience and the subsequent analysis of the motion and forces using data they collected will prove to be a valuable memory tool when tackling the problems and concepts in class and exams.
