· Acquire the appropriate skills in science and technology;
· Apply the physics knowledge obtained in solving physical problems
· Explain, interpret and demonstrate physics concept, principle and laws.
The study materials for this course are not contained in one book. However the following books can he used:
· A·F. Abbott, Ordinary Level Physics;
· Nelkon,Fundamentats of Physics;
Tom Duncan
G.C.S.E. Physics.
In addition to this, a list of recent books suitable for this course will be published from time to time.
A physics teacher is advised to employ "activity teaching methods" and problem solving approach. In the former method, the students should he encouraged to participate actively in: observing, hypothesizing, inferring, classifying, predicting, experimenting collecting and interpreting data and drawing conclusion. On the other hand, problem-solving approach include discovery, student projects and educational visits. However, the teachers will be free to use any other teaching method (e.g. exposure teaching method) considered effective according to certain circumstances in promoting learning.
The teachers are advised to administer formative tests at the end of each topic in the syllabus in order to diagnose the leaning problems of their students. The results of these test should be to group or individual remedial instruction whenever necessary. Tests and examinations will serve as a means of identifying the topics or subtopic which need further teaching improvement .
