Welcome to Terry Freeman's teaching web-site.

This site is my official site at Macquarie University. Although I retired in 2001, I decided to return to teaching at the secondary school level in 2008, I have been approved by DET to teach physics, science, senior mathematics and general mathematics. I am remaining attached to the Macquarie University Physics Department thus retaining my official site. The site you are on now has been created so that I can post physics resource materials for years 11 and 12 (stage 6) students and their teachers.

In 1995 I wrote a "bridging" course with all the items that I wished students knew before starting physics at university. I think that this text is still helpfull to HSC physics students today. You will find it in pdf format here. I recently rewrote chapter 7 so that it would be easier to understand semi-conductor technology, you may find this interesting.

As part of one of my old research projects I had prepared some sample first year student physics laboratory reports. A number of people have expressed interest in these reports so I am posting the pdf versions at this site.

The poor report is here.
The typical report is here.
The good report is here.
