Course Focus
The course will mainly focus on the four big ideas and ten topics required by the exam. Students will learn and review Kinematics, Dynamics, Circular Motion and Gravitation, Energy, Momentum, Simple Harmonic Motion, Torque and Rotational Motion, Electric Charge and Electric Force, DC Circuits, Mechanical Waves and Sound. They will learn with the guidance of the teacher and at the same time, they will improve by practicing.
