- Explore Newton’s Laws of Motion, moments, stability, and turning effects
- Master key formulas for kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, work, power, and efficiency
- Learn about pressure in solids and fluids and how it changes with depth and density
- Distinguish the properties of solids, liquids, and gases; explain state changes and energy transfer
- Investigate conduction, convection, and radiation with real-life thermal applications
- Analyze light behaviour including reflection, refraction, and lenses; understand the electromagnetic spectrum
- Understand magnetism, magnetic fields, and use of compasses and plotting lines
- Explore electrostatics, current, resistance, and the behaviour of electric circuits

Assessment and Practice
Each topic is followed by a test or consolidation week to strengthen understanding. Comprehensive Exams are held twice: mid-year and at the end. Mock exams and intensive practice in the final term prepare students for high-stakes exams, while regular real-world examples and guided applications deepen understanding and retention.
Course Structure Overview
This comprehensive plan guides students through foundational classical physics, covering motion, forces, energy, thermal physics, light, and electricity, with consistent assessment and exam practice.
