Coverage
Coverage
01
Build upon foundational concepts in Physics and Chemistry learnt in Lower Secondary Science, and go deeper into the disciplinary ideas of Physics and Chemistry at Upper Secondary.
02
New Physics and Chemistry topics are introduced, such as Kinematics, Turning Effect of Forces, Thermal Properties of Matter, Chemical Bonding, The Mole Concept and Stoichiometry and Metals.
03
In our Practical class component, students learn to record observations, analyse and explain experimental results through hands-on experiments.
04
Our weekly Practice Papers include O-Level-type multiple choice and structured questions of tiered difficulty. End-of-topic Concept Papers help students to consolidate their learning of the key concepts of the topic.
05
Students learn how to tackle questions with the right question analysis, keywords and answering techniques through worked examples and weekly Practice Papers.
