Student:
• knows objects and phenomena related to the topic
• partially knows how to relate objects and phenomena related to the topic to technology and everyday applications
• knows the quantities related to the objects and phenomena of the subject area, the related units and the laws between the quantities only in familiar, exemplary situations.
• has a basic idea of the phenomena related to the subject area of insufficient qualitative level
• Recognizes the basic phenomena of physics appearing in problems related to the topic, the whole is partly unstructured and incomplete.
