Title: Course overview
Course: Physical and chemical phenomena and their application

Welcome to study physics and chemistry!

The course introduces key concepts in physics and their application in everyday life and the workplace. In the chemistry section, students will explore common substances used in the field, their properties, and how to handle them safely.

Learning Objectives and Assessment Criteria

Some topics covered in this course may need to be understood more thoroughly in your specific field than what is presented in this introductory course, while others may not be as relevant to your area of study. Experimental work in physics and chemistry will be conducted in elective studies. However, within your field, you may encounter tasks and measurements that require knowledge of physics and/or chemistry. Therefore, consider for each topic whether it is essential in your field and which job tasks require this theoretical knowledge. Keep in mind that the entrance exams and studies in university of applied sciences for technical fields require proficiency in physics calculations, so this will be practiced particularly in the area of mechanics.

The course consists of theory sections with exercises, tasks, and tests. You can progress through the course entirely at your own pace and track your progress using the Progress Tracking block on the right side of the page.

Note! Most assignments must be completed in one sitting from start to finish for the results to be recorded. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is not allowed in any tasks or exercises.

The course grade will be based on the tasks and exams in the Demonstrate Your Competence section.
