Physics Course OutlineMakati Science High School

SY 2015-2016Kalayaan Ave., Brgy. Cembo, Makati City

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 8 students should be able to: correlate force and motion explain why objects move the way they do realize that force could result to work and energy changes in an object

Time allotment: 6 hrs/week

Grading components: Written work- 40%, Performance Tasks-40%, Quarterly Assessment- 20%
