Relationships Energy Movement

The relationship between movement, force and energy transformations is explored through mathematical models and investigative methods.

Scientific and Technical Innovation

Systems Form Evidence

Observations and measurement of the evidence and form of energy transfer allows modelling and scientific and technical application of waves.
