This document outlines the physics schemes of work for Form Four students in Term III. It includes 5 topics to be covered:
1. Radioactivity - including radioactive decay, half-life, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and hazards of radioactivity.
2. Electronics - distinguishing between conductors and semi-conductors, and covering intrinsic and extrinsic semi-conductors including doping and the working of p-n junction diodes.
3. Objectives, learning activities, teaching aids and references are provided for each sub-topic to guide lesson planning and instruction.
4. Revision of radioactivity is included to reinforce concepts and solve problems involving radioactive decay and half-life.
