Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Experiential learning: Let learners discuss the conditions for resonance in a.c in R-C, R-L, and R-L-C series circuits. Let learners discuss the application of resonance in selecting a particular frequency in radio reception and transmission. Let learners discuss the power factor. Challenge stereotypes and misconceptions about gender and disabilities in physics. Assessment (3.3.2.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
