INTRODUCTION

The Physics syllabus has been designed to provide learners with a sound knowledge of the fundamental concepts in Physics. It assumes a conceptual
approach that focuses on enabling learners to acquire an understanding of scientific phenomena, facts, concepts, theories, laws and principles. Ample
scope for laboratory and practical work which is essential for learners to develop the critical scientific skills needed in the successful study and
application of Physics.
The General objectives for Grades 10 – 12 Physics:
1. Demonstrate comprehension of the basic principles and applications of Physics.
2. Exhibit scientific skills, competencies and attitudes which are necessary for the advancement of Physics.
3. Recognize the usefulness as well as limitations of the scientific method.
A learner-centered approach is emphasized in this curriculum. This is based on the firm belief that learning becomes more permanent, meaningful and
exciting when learners themselves take ownership of the learning process. Instructors are therefore urged to contrive those classroom strategies that
engage learners actively in the teaching and learning process.
