Grade -9 & 10 - physics syllabus
GRADE -10
Science (Physics) Unit 1 – Electricity and circuits
Statement of Inquiry : Scientific understanding of electrical principles enables the development of
safe and efficient systems that impact daily life and technological
advancement.
Global Context : Scientific and Technical Innovation
Approaches to Learning : • Communication, Research skills and thinking skills
Unit No. : 1
Range of Date : April - May
Key Concept : Systems
Related Concepts : Energy, Form, function
Questions :
Factual: What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit? How does Ohm’s Law relate voltage,
current, and resistance? What is the purpose of a fuse in an electrical circuit?
Conceptual: Why are household circuits usually wired in parallel rather than in series? How does increasing
resistance affect the current in a circuit? How do the earth wire and insulation contribute to electrical safety?
Debatable: Should understanding basic electrical safety and circuit theory be made mandatory in all school
curriculums? Is our growing dependence on electrical devices making us more vulnerable to electrical
hazards?
