Principles of turning forces and wave mechanics frame Grade 10 General Science in Term 3, allocating 45 lesson slots across 10 pages, allowing young scientists to explore physical interactions through laboratory rigs and mathematical equations.
- Moments and Levers: verifying the principle of moments on balanced metre rules, determining centres of gravity, and calculating force couples in weeks 1 and 2.
- Equations of Motion: applying the three kinematic equations to accelerated bodies and plotting velocity curves during week 2.
- Wave Motion: demonstrating longitudinal and transverse wave pulses on helical springs and measuring frequencies in week 3.
- Electromagnetic Induction: tracing magnetic lines around solenoids and constructing model transformers across weeks 4 to 6.
Summative milestones feature mid-term examination papers in week 7, laboratory equipment maintenance, and science project displays in weeks 8 and 9.
