  1. Published in 2002 for The New Physics Syllabus (S4-5) • implementation in Sept 2003 • first exam in May 2005 A major syllabus change since 1984!

  2. Physics curriculum development in HK – time line • 1972 – CDC established within ED • 1973 – Integrated Science pilot scheme • 1976 – CDC Physics syllabus (syllabus 2) implemented; coexisted with syllabus 1. • 1978 – first exam of CDC syllabus • 1984 – Amalgamated syllabus implemented • 1986 – first exam of amalgamated syllabus • 1988 – addition of microelectronics • 1993 – minor revision (deletions only) • 2000 – new S1-3 Science syllabus implemented • 2003 – new Physics syllabus

  3. New Physics Syllabus Major changes in • Format and approach more... • Contents more... • Examination more… next...

  4. Format & approach Syllabus Format • Overview • Knowledge & understanding – list of topics • Skills & processes – specific expts not listed, but implied • Values & attitudes • STS connections Approach More emphasis on STS, contextual learning more... back

  5. STS • 30 periods are set aside for project work, presentation, discussion and article reading. • STS connections are included in each Section. • Contextual approach is encouraged.back

  6. Contents • 6 sections 5 sections (Optics grouped under Waves) • Core and extension more… • Topics added more… • Topics deleted more… • Reading science articles • Data-loggers more... back

  7. Microscopic interpretation of heat Motion w a change in direction Handling vectors (forces) algebraically Momentum Total internal reflection Ultrasound Musical notes & noise Charging in terms of e- transfer EM induction Transformer High voltage transmissionback Core and extension

  8. Topics added • Transfer processes of heat (conduction, convection, radiation) • Sound intensity level, dB • Noise pollution and acoustic protection • Nuclear fusionback

  9. Curved mirrors Optical instruments and the human eye Kinetic theory Gas laws Pressure Moment Machines Transverse stationary waves Emf Conversion of moving-coil meters Electronics Diffusion cloud chamber Right-angled fork trackback Topics deleted

  10. Data-logger to replace conventional apparatus wherever possible Data-logger Specifically, motion sensor to replace ticker-tape timer for mechanics expts back

  11. New question type: science article, data-logger expts, daily life application (unfamiliar situations) more... HKCEE Exam • No restriction of marks carried by each question next...

  12. Science article

  13. Data-logging expt

  14. Daily life application back

  15. HKCEE Paper I • Time: 1½ hour  1¾ hour • All questions compulsory • Section A: 60%, 8-10Qs, Core only, more guidance • Section B: 40%, 3-5 Qs, whole syllabus, less guidance
