Course Curriculum
| Force – Force refers to the push or pull on an object. Examples include pushing a book or pulling a rope. |
| Effects of Forces – Effects of forces refer to the resulting actions when forces are applied to objects. |
| Types of Force – Types of force include gravitational force, elastic spring force, frictional force, magnetic force, centripetal force, and resistance force. |
| Energy – Energy is the capacity to do work. It exists in various forms and can be used to perform tasks. |
| Sources of Energy – Sources of energy are categorized as primary (e.g., natural resources) and secondary (e.g., energy derived from primary sources). Examples include solar energy, wind energy, and fossil fuels. |
| Types of Energy – Types of energy include kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy). Examples include a moving car (kinetic energy) and a stretched spring (potential energy). |
| Forms of Energy – Forms of energy include heat energy, light energy, electrical energy, and sound energy. Each form has distinct properties and can be converted into other forms. |
| Magnets – Magnets are objects that produce magnetic fields. They have different shapes and properties, such as attracting certain materials like iron and repelling other magnets. |
| Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Materials – Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials are not. Examples of magnetic materials include iron, nickel, and cobalt. |
| Electrical Systems and Components – Electrical systems consist of components like wires, batteries, switches, and bulbs that enable the flow of electricity. They can be open or closed circuits. |
| Types of Circuits – Types of circuits include series circuits (components connected in a single path) and parallel circuits (components connected in multiple paths). |
| What Makes a Bulb Brighter? – The brightness of a bulb can be influenced by factors such as the voltage applied, the resistance in the circuit, and the type of bulb used. Factors affecting brightness can be explored through experiments. |
| Electrical Conductors and Insulators – Electrical conductors allow the flow of electricity, while insulators impede its flow. Examples of conductors include metals, while insulators include rubber and plastic. |
| Conserving Electricity – Explore the importance of conserving electricity and ways to reduce energy consumption. Learn about sustainable practices, such as turning off lights and appliances when not in use, to conserve electricity and promote environmental sustainability. |
