Ethiopian New Curriculum Grade 9 Physics Teacher's Guide consists of seven comprehensive units, each carefully designed to provide teachers with clear lesson objectives, detailed content explanations, and relevant examples for Ethiopian classrooms.

Unit 1: Physics and Human Society

This unit introduces the nature and definition of physics, its various branches, and related scientific fields. Teachers are supported in exploring the historical development of physics and its contributors, connecting the subject to societal relevance.

Unit 2: Physical Quantities

Teachers are guided through teaching measurement standards, units and prefixes, safe laboratory practices, and classification of physical quantities. This unit includes detailed activities on unit conversion to build quantitative skills.

Unit 3: Motion in a Straight Line

This unit covers fundamental kinematics concepts including position, distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, uniform motion, and graphical analysis. Teachers gain strategies to explain these with real-world and experimental examples.

Unit 4: Force, Work, and Energy

Educators receive tools to teach the concept of force, Newton’s laws, friction, work, kinetic and potential energy, and power. Lessons emphasize understanding physical interactions and energy transformations.

Unit 5: Simple Machines

This unit focuses on simple machines and their applications in daily life and workplaces. Teachers are equipped to explain classification, mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, efficiency, and design principles with practical examples.

Unit 6: Mechanical Oscillation and Sound Wave

Teachers are supported in explaining wave characteristics, oscillations of strings, pendulums, springs, wave propagation, sound waves, superposition, and sound properties. Activities enhance understanding of wave phenomena and their applications.

Unit 7: Temperature and Thermometry

This unit covers the role of temperature in life and safety, temperature changes, different thermometric scales, thermometer types, conversion between scales, and thermal expansion. It provides comprehensive lessons for linking temperature concepts to everyday experiences.

Each unit includes lesson durations, objectives, and review questions to help teachers organize and assess instruction efficiently.
