Subject description: Physics is fundamental science. It deals with the behavior and the structure of matter (Giancoli, 2005. Physics, 5th ed). For grades 7-10, the general topics force, motion, and energy are subdivided in the following areas:
Motion Fluids Heat Sound
Light Electricity Magnetism
Objectives: (adapted from K12 Curriculum Sequence of Domains/Strands per quarter) At the end of the course, the grade 10 students should be able to:
have a comprehensive understanding of balanced and unbalanced forces describe how balanced and unbalanced forces affect movement, balance, and
stability of an object acquire more knowledge on the properties of light and uses of light in optical
instruments explain the principles behind generators and motors using the concept of moving
charges and magnetic fields
Time allotment: 6 hrs/week
Grading components: Written work- 40%, Performance Tasks-40%, Quarterly Assessment- 20%
