Physics

1. Measurements and Experimentation

SI units, the simple pendulum, and the least count of measuring instruments.

2. Motion in One Dimension

Scalars and vectors, distance and displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration and graphs of motion.

3. Laws of Motion

Newton's laws of motion, inertia, momentum, gravitation and free fall.

4. Fluids

Thrust and pressure, Archimedes' principle, buoyancy, density and relative density.

5. Heat and Energy

Temperature scales, thermal expansion, the anomalous expansion of water and energy sources.

6. Light

Reflection at plane and curved surfaces, image formation by spherical mirrors, and the laws of reflection.

7. Sound

Production and propagation of sound, characteristics of a wave, and the speed of sound.

8. Electricity and Magnetism

Simple electric circuits, conductors and insulators, and properties of magnets.
