For the academic session 2014-15, Maharashtra Board HSC students have been allotted an extremely useful syllabus for Physics. The class 12 Physics syllabus is inclusive of topics like Circular Motion, Gravitation, Rotational Motion, Oscillations, Elasticity and Surface Tension, wherein concepts have been explained extremely well. The topics in the would help HSC students prepare better for the various entrance exams they appear for further academic purposes.
1. Emphasis on basic conceptual understanding of the content.
2. Emphasis on use of SI units, symbols, nomenclature of physical quantities and formulations as per international standards.
3. Providing logical sequencing of units of the subject matter and proper placement of concepts with their linkage for better learning.
4. Reducing the curriculum load by eliminating overlapping of concepts/ content within the discipline and other disciplines.
5. Promotion of process-skills, problem-solving abilities and applications of Physics concepts.
6. Strengthen the concepts developed at the secondary stage to provide firm foundation for further learning in the subject.
7. Expose the learners to different processes used in Physics-related industrial and technological applications.
8. Develop process-skills and experimental, observational, manipulative, decision making and investigatory skills in the learners.
9. Promote problem solving abilities and creative thinking in learners.
10. Develop conceptual competence in the learners and make them realize and appreciate the interface of Physics with other disciplines.
