How does the Grade 11 Physical Sciences ATP split Physics and Chemistry?
The ATP includes Physics topics such as mechanics and electricity and lists a Physics Paper 1 topic set for the final exam. It also includes Chemistry topics such as atomic combinations and chemical change and lists a Chemistry Paper 2 topic set for the final exam.
What Physics topics are covered in Term 1?
Term 1 includes mechanics (vectors in two dimensions and Newton's laws), Newton's Universal Law, and electrostatics, followed by a control test and a formal practical (as listed in the ATP).
What Chemistry topics appear in Term 2 and Term 3?
Term 2 includes atomic combinations and intermolecular forces, and Term 3 focuses on quantitative aspects of chemical change, energy changes, acids and bases, and ideal gases (as listed in the ATP).
What is assessed in Term 4 for Grade 11 Physical Sciences?
The ATP lists consolidation and revision and a final examination with Paper 1 and Paper 2, including topic lists for Physics and Chemistry.
Does the Grade 11 Physical Sciences ATP include practical investigations?
Yes. The ATP lists a formal practical in Term 1 (Newton's second law of motion OR verification of gravitational acceleration).
