Physical Quantities and Geometric Relationships Online Course

Overview

This Online Course explores the link between physical quantities and geometrical relationships. Learners gain practical knowledge in measurement, unit conversion, and spatial reasoning, laying the groundwork for applications in technical and scientific environments.

This course provides a foundational understanding of physical quantities and their relationship to geometrical concepts in scientific and technical contexts. Learners will explore measurements such as length, area, volume, mass, and time, and how these relate to shapes, space, and motion. The course emphasizes accurate measurement, unit conversions, and interpreting data in practical scenarios.

By connecting mathematical reasoning with physical observation, participants will gain skills useful in fields such as engineering, construction, and applied sciences. Through visual aids, examples, and interactive content, this course builds confidence in understanding how physical quantities interact within geometrical systems.

Course Content

  • Scales on the measuring instruments are read correctly
  • Quantities are estimated to a tolerance justified in the context of the need
  • The appropriate instrument is chosen to measure a particular quantity
  • Quantities are measured correctly to within the least step of the instrument
  • Appropriate formulae are selected and used
  • Calculations are carried out correctly and the least steps of instruments used are taken into account when reporting final values
  • Symbols and units are used in accordance with SI conventions and as appropriate to the situation
  • Descriptions are based on a systematic analysis of the shapes and reflect the properties of the shapes accurately, clearly and completely
  • Descriptions include quantitative information appropriate to the situation and need
  • Three-dimensional objects are represented by the top, front and side views
  • Different views are correctly assimilated to describe 3-dimensional objects
  • Available and appropriate technology is used in producing and analysing representations
  • Relations of distance and positions between objects are analysed from different views
  • Conjectures as appropriate to the situation, are based on well-planned investigations of geometrical properties
  • Representations of the problems are consistent with and appropriate to the problem context. The problems are represented comprehensively and in mathematical terms
  • Results are achieved through efficient and correct analysis and manipulation of representations
  • Problem-solving methods are presented clearly, logically and in mathematical terms
  • Reflections on the chosen problem-solving strategy reveal strengths and weaknesses of the strategy
  • Alternative strategies to obtain the solution are identified and compared in terms of appropriateness and effectiveness
