Physics Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) - Units 1 and 2*

Our Physics Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) are written by experienced VCE teachers, who are also VCE Exam Assessors.These tasks are available exclusively to schools and are available in electronic or hardcopy format. A variety of tasks are available for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

Students are not permitted to order these tasks.

The Physics Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) are offered to schools copyright free for the restricted use of students of that school only.

TSSM's Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) are prepared for schools to address the key assessment areas of the Physics curriculum, providing schools with a valuable resource for assessing both the Core and Options specified within the VCAA Study Design for Physics.  All tasks are supplied with full solutions.

Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) for Physics have been prepared for both Units 1 and 2. The following packages are available to schools:

Unit 1 Package includes 6 tasks -

Outcome 1 or Areas of Study 1 (Two options included):

1. An analysis including calculations of physics concepts applied to real world contexts
2. Reflective annotations related to one or more practical activities from a log book

Outcome 2 or Areas of Study 2 (Two options included):

1. A physics referenced response to an issue or innovation
2. An analysis, including calculations, of physics concepts applied to real-world contexts

Outcome 3 for Areas of Study 3 (Two options included):

1. A problem solving involving physics concepts and/or skills
2. An analysis and evaluation of generated primary and/or collated secondary data

Unit 2 Package includes 3 tasks -

Outcomes 1 for Areas of Study 1 (Two options included):

1. Reflective annotations related to one or more practical activities from a log book
2. An analysis and evaluation of generated primary and/or collated secondary data

Outcome 3 for Areas of Study 3 (One option included):

1. Scientific poster

Outcome 2 for Area of Study 2 (One SAC for your selected Option is included - Only one Option can be selected in this package, however, if you would like to order additional Options, this will incur an additional $45.00 each.  Click here to add the additional Options individually):

1. Problem solving involving physics concepts and/or skills on each Option
   
   Below are the options that are available to choose from

• • How does physics explain climate change?
• • How do fusion and fission compare as viable nuclear energy power sources?
• • How do heavy things fly?
• • How do forces act on structures and materials?
• • How do forces act on the human body?
• • How is radiation used to maintain human health?
• • How does the human body use electricity?
• • How can human vision be enhanced?
• • How is physics used in photography?
• • How do instruments make music?
• • How can performance in ball sports be improved?
• • How can AC electricity charge a DC device?
• • How do astrophysicists investigate stars and black holes?
• • How can we detect possible life beyond Earth’s Solar System?
• • How can physics explain traditional artefacts, knowledge and techniques? 
• • How do particle accelerators work?
• • How does physics explain the origins of matter?
• • How is contemporary physics research being conducted in our region?

These packages are provided to schools giving teachers a degree of flexibility in the assessment tasks they set for their students.  While TSSM thoroughly checks the accuracy and relevance of these Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET), prior to assessing students, it is the individual school's responsibility to ensure that these are an appropriate form of assessment.

*Unit 1 Targeted Evaluation Tasks (TET) will be released on February 6, 2025 and Unit 2 will be released on May 29, 2025. Orders made in advance are welcome.
