Course Description:
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of physics concepts and theories. Students will continue their exploration of energy transformations and the forces that affect motion and will investigate electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation. Students will also explore the wave nature of light, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. They will further develop their scientific investigation skills, learning, for example, how to analyze, qualitatively and quantitatively, data related to a variety of physics concepts and principles. Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.

Teaching/Learning Methodologies:
- The students are provided with almost all the material they would need to learn. The students will be provided with the whole resource of the course. The textbook will be attached to the course; the students will be able to download extra reading packs according to the lessons for a deep understanding of the concerned lesson. This course has almost all the things included for the learning of the students/learners as well as for the entertainment. This course includes the activities in the form of cumulative activities, moreover as the course would start the student will be given specific lab access for every topic, which they need about. The students will be able to solve the scientific problems by applying the acquired knowledge from this course. The assessments for every unit, the assessment of every lesson will be checked and reports will be designed. The students will be given full-time access to ask the questions to teacher about the lessons. Proper lectures for every lesson will be conducted. The student will have to give the reflection feedback for the previous lecture and then the teacher will start the next lecture. The student will be able to ask queries about the lesson at the end of the lecture
- Lesson plans
- PowerPoint presentations
- Videos
- Reading Packs
- Assignment for Learning
- Assessment of Learning
- Quiz
All of these are a cluster of downloadable and embedded files that will be provided to each candidate with the progression of the course.
E-Learning Approach:
E-learning is not only a training method but is a learning method that is tailored to individuals. It is found that different terminologies have been used to define learning that takes place online which makes it difficult to develop a generic definition.
E-learning includes the delivery of content via the Internet, Intranet, and Extranet, satellite broadcast, audio-video tape, interactive TV, and CD-ROM. The term implies that the learner is at a distance from the tutor or instructor, that the learner uses some form of technology.
With attention to this new system of education that is spreading across the globe its imperative that the content of such study programs is enhanced and modified to serve both the learner and the instructor well whilst dealing with the gap of conventional studying methodologies. Thus the courses promise their reader an experience full of engagement, student-concentric approach, personalization, and Interaction. Using a wide array of multimedia tools, cloud-based LMS, and a diverse repository of subject-tailored audio-visual material that students can utilize and learn in a simulated work environment where he’s in charge of his work hours.
Our e-learners paddle through these courses in the mediation of skilled mentors to the finish line with the understanding of their subject's application into real-world problems following a futuristic model of education.
Strategies for Assessment and Evaluation of Student Performance:
Assessment is the ongoing gathering of information related to the individual student’s progress in achieving the curriculum expectations of the course. To guide the student to his/her optimum level of achievement, the teacher provides consistent and detailed feedback and guidance leading to improvement. Strategies may include:
- Diagnostic assessment
- Formative assessment
- Summative assessment
- Performance assessment
- Portfolio assessment
- Rubrics
- Checklists
