Motion can often be an overbearing topic for many students simply due to it being one of the largest Areas of Study throughout all of Units 1, 2, 3 and 4. Unit 3 AOS 1 acts as not only a culmination of your experience gained throughout Year 11 Motion, but as the introduction of many more new concepts blended together with those introduced in Unit 2.

To assist with your learning entering into the new year, we have included a comprehensive introduction to Unit 3 AOS 1 written by expert tutor and academic head of Complete - Asel Kumarasinghe.

This introduction:

  • Lays out the ideas covered in the AOS in an easy-to-read visual manner
  • Organises each study design dotpoint into a clear table
  • Details relevant Year 11 knowledge for each dotpoint
  • Explores each formula that not only VCAA require you to know, but also some which could come in handy...
  • Provides detailed SAC and Exam tips sorted by each study design dotpoint

Our U3A1 Intro comprehensively details each topic taught throughout study in Y12
