Grade 10 Physics

Welcome 10Sc1!

G9/10 science course – Your 6th Trimester

- What is physics (again)?

Your friend asks you what physics is about – write down 3 things you tell him/her.

Grade 10 Welcome & Introduction

What is physics? Study of the natural world around us

From the very small sub-atomic particles to the

very large stars, galaxies, universe.

Grade 10 Welcome & Introduction

To study of the natural world around us we look at:

Motion (G10) speed, acceleration, forces, orbits Heat (G9) temperature, heat capacity,

transfer,insulation

Waves (G10) wave behaviour in light, sound, water Electricity (G9) charges, currents, voltage, power

Atomic/Nuclear (IB) fission, fusion, power, bombs Astrophysics (IB) stars, universe, cosmos.

(Is there anything missing above?)

To study this you need certain scientific skills:
