Description
To identify and demonstrate the basic concepts, principles, procedures and safe
working practices in the physical sciences.
This module is designed at an elementary level to introduce the concepts of
physics using a practical laboratory program. The relevant concepts will be
introduced through the practical exercises.

Range of Variables
This module is delivered off-the-job.
It is intended that this module would be delivered over a semester. This is an
integrated practical/theory class with the major emphasis being on the
development of practical skills and the introduction of the underlying concepts
being at an elementary level only.

Evidence Guide
This module is designed as an introductory course with integrated theory and
practical instruction, the major emphasis being on the development of practical
skills. Laboratory assessment should be designed to reinforce the practical
skills as well as to reflect the integrated approach to theory and practical
work with close links between theoretical concepts and practical applications.
Written assignments, observation of laboratory work, the logbook (content and
presentation) and oral questioning should be used to provide feedback to
learners and as a measure of the progress of the learning group as a whole.
Throughout the module, it will be essential for learners to be observed by
their competency assessors while they carry out their practical work to ensure
that the learners achieve the correct levels of skills and operate safely in
the laboratory.
Revision assignments and practical logbooks provide formative assessment and
tests should be used to provide summative assessment of the learner’s
theoretical and practical knowledge.
