Bob Emery - HSC Web Site - Welcome to the Senior Physics web site! Thiseducation site ismanaged by Bob Emery. It is designed as a reference point for students of the Stage 6 Physics Course in NSW. There is also some material that may be of use for students studying the Studies of Religion Courses in NSW. Other visitors are most welcome. Note that this site is best viewed with Internet Explorer.
- On this website you will find notes, diagrams, worksheets, revision questions, labs, brain teasers, links to useful INTERNET sites and helpful material for assessment tasks. The Physics notes are organized to follow reasonably closely the order of the dot points in the "Students learn to" column of the Syllabus. Lab experiments, sets of questions and links then attempt to provide sufficient assistance to enable students to complete the tasks designated by the dot points in the "Students" column of the Syllabus.

- WARNING: The latest versions of java (Java 7 Update 51 onwards), the script that runs applets, blocks any apps that are unsigned, self-signed or missing permission attributes. I use a lot of apps on this site (eg many apps from Walter Fendt). They are excellent for helping students understand Physics. If you find that your computer is blocking these apps, please go to the website below (in red) and follow the instructions there to get your java controls to allow these apps to run. Basically, it is a case of entering the main address (url) of the app sites into your Java Exception Site List - eg to get the Walter Fendt apps to run you would enter the url http://www.walter-fendt.de into your Java Exception Site List.
