Secondary Three Express Physics Topics for Term 1 week 1 & 2Prerequisite Lesson before actual Physics learning. The use of standard form is to free the examiner/marker from counting the number of zeroes. A Basic Mathematics skill to facilitate the learning of Physics. It is to your advantage that you express your answers in standard form when necessary. The use of significant figures is to simplify answers that have a long string of numbers. A Basic Mathematics skill to facilitate the learning of Physics. It is to your advantage that you express your answers in 3 significant figures when necessary. Section 1: General Physics
1.1 Physical
quantities
Content
2.1
Speed, velocity and acceleration
Section 4: Electricity&Magnetism Basic principles of electrostatics are introduced in order to explain how objects become charged and to describe the effect of those charges on other objects in the neighboring surroundings. Charging methods, electric field lines and the importance of lightning rods on homes are among the topics discussed in this unit.

Secondary Five Normal (Academic) Physics Topics for Term 1 week 1 & 2 Section 3: Waves The nature, properties and behaviors of waves are discussed and illustrated; the unique nature of a standing wave is introduced and explained. Content
Secondary Four Normal (Academic) Physics Topics for Term 1 week 1 & 2Section 3: Waves The ray nature of light is used to explain how light reflects off of planar and curved surfaces to produce both real and virtual images; the nature of the images produced by plane mirrors is thoroughly illustrated. The ray nature of light is used to explain how light refracts at planar and curved surfaces; Snell's law and refraction principles are used to explain a variety of real-world phenomena; refraction principles are combined with ray diagrams to explain why lenses produce images of objects.

Credits and ThanksThe Peirce Physics Classroom began as a volunteer project during the school year 2003 December holidays. The first few units were completed during that time; no special funding or release time was provided for that work. The author engaged the help of Mr Shahari to create some flash animation and Mr Teh and Mrs Vija to look through the materials written before the actual launch date. Technical Notes:The lessons in Peirce Physics Classroom contain a wealth of informative graphics. Some of the pages have several graphics; all of the pages have some graphics. The lessons would be almost meaningless and certainly lacking in effectiveness if viewed with a text-only browser. If using a 56 kbps modem, be patient with some pages, for they may require up to 30 seconds to load. For the convenience of users of Peirce Physics Classroom, users with an ADSL or cable modem are strongly recommended. Future PlansCreating good and thorough web resources is a time-consuming task. As a classroom teacher, the daily preparation of lessons and laboratory practicals, helping students, and (unfortunately) grading papers must come first. Nonetheless, my commitment to (and pleasure in) creating useful student resources remains high. Hopefully, editing (a tedious and mundane chore) will be completed by October 2004, leaving some time during the December 2004 holidays for further development. It is hoped that a series of animations will be added to various units within Peirce Physics Classroom. Such animations would include Ray Diagrams for Right Angle Mirrors, Acceleration-Time Graphs, etc. At that time, there are likely to be some minor interface changes (rollovers, improved navigation bar, etc.) and facelift changes (removal of the red color in the navigation bar which is rendered as a very deep red on some PC monitors) and an introductory flash movie about the website made at that time.
