The Ethiopian Old Curriculum Grade 10 Physics Teacher’s Guide consists of six comprehensive units. Each unit is designed to help teachers present content clearly, incorporate problem-solving techniques, and support students through examples, guided practice, and real-life applications.

Unit 1: Motion in Two Dimensions

In this unit, teachers guide students through projectile motion, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation. Lessons focus on understanding motion beyond simple linear paths using demonstrations and conceptual explanations.

Unit 2: Electrostatics

Teachers introduce electric charge, electric forces and fields, electrical potential, and capacitors. The unit emphasizes visualizing electric phenomena and applying theoretical concepts through classroom experiments.

Unit 3: Current Electricity

This unit covers electric current, Ohm’s Law, combinations of resistors, electromotive force (E.M.F.), internal resistance of cells, electric energy and power, and electrical installation safety rules. Teachers focus on both theoretical principles and practical electrical safety.

Unit 4: Electromagnetism

The lessons include magnetism, magnetic fields, magnetic forces, and electromagnetic induction. Teachers use examples from everyday life and experiments to explain how electromagnetism operates.

Unit 5: Introduction to Electronics

Teachers cover vacuum tube devices, conductors, semiconductors and insulators, doping of semiconductors, and transistor types (PNP and NPN). The unit aims to simplify modern electronics for learners.

Unit 6: Electromagnetic Waves and Geometric Optics

This unit focuses on electromagnetic waves, reflection, and refraction of light. It encourages the use of optical demonstrations to help students grasp wave behavior and light properties.
