Physics Overview

The subject is designed to emphasis on the understanding and application of the
basic Physics concepts and Principles. Each section introduces and explains the
concepts accompanied by certain practical skills needed to support the students
to improve their level of understanding and thinking skills as they progress
towards higher grades.
Main strands of the program offered are:
Forces
Motion and Speed
Motion Graphs
More About Forces
Introduction to Energy
Thermal Energy
Light
Reflection
Refraction
Color
Static Electricity
Simple Electrical Circuits
Other Circuit Components
The following are the main topics which we will be covered in grade 7:
-Explain effect of forces on motion including friction and air resistance
-Explain effect of gravity on objects
-Calculate the average speeds including through time gates
-Plot and interpret the distance/time and speed/time graphs`
-Explain pressure as a force concentrated per unit area and find the same
-Find the Densities of solids, liquids and gases
-Explain Pressure in gases and liquids
