Below is the SS2 Physics Scheme of work for First, Second and Third Term.
FIRST TERM SCHEME OF WORK FOR PHYSICS SS2
- The concepts of position and distance in coordinate systems.
- Vectors
- Uniformly Accelerated motion
- Projectiles
- Basics concepts of simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.)
- Applications of simple Harmonic motion
