The Ethiopian New Curriculum Grade 11 Physics Teacher’s Guide is organized into seven units. Each unit provides teachers with detailed lesson objectives, instructional strategies, active learning techniques, and assessment guidance to support conceptual mastery and skill development.

Unit 1: Physics and Human Society

Teachers begin by establishing the relevance of physics to daily life and society. Topics include the importance of physics, roles of the physics community, how physics knowledge is developed, career pathways, and current trends in the field.

Unit 2: Vectors

This unit introduces vectors and their types. Teachers guide students through graphical and algebraic vector addition in two dimensions, culminating in an introduction to vector products. Emphasis is placed on visual understanding and application.

Unit 3: Motion in One and Two Dimensions

Students explore uniformly accelerated motion, motion graphs, vertical motion, and circular motion. Teachers use real-life motion examples to help students interpret and apply kinematic equations in multiple dimensions.

Unit 4: Dynamics

This unit builds on Newtonian mechanics. Topics include forces, friction, equilibrium, work and energy, conservation of mechanical energy, impulse, and momentum. Teachers are encouraged to use problem-solving, modeling, and interactive demonstrations.

Unit 5: Heat Conduction and Calorimetry

Teachers help students understand thermal energy transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion, phase changes, and calorimetric analysis. Real-life examples of heat in cooking, climate, and energy conservation are emphasized.

Unit 6: Electric Current and Circuits

Core electrical concepts are covered, including Coulomb’s Law, electric fields and potential, Ohm’s Law, resistance, capacitors, and household electrical circuits. Teachers relate these topics to students’ daily environments to make learning more tangible.

Unit 7: Nuclear Physics

This final unit introduces the nucleus, radioactivity, nuclear reactions, energy production, and safety protocols. Teachers are supported in helping students understand both the benefits and risks of nuclear science through case studies and discussion.
