Syllabus content and objectives
Official WAEC Physics outline · Part I: Interaction of Matter, Space & Time
Content
States/structure of matter, Kinetic theory, fundamental/derived quantities, measuring instruments, position/distance/displacement, mass vs weight, time measurement, density/relative density, fluid pressure, Pascal's principle, Archimedes' principle, flotation, motion types, friction, viscosity, linear kinematics, vector resolution, moments/equilibrium, simple harmonic motion, and Newton's laws of motion
Objective
Explain states of matter, Brownian motion, surface tension, and capillarity using kinetic theory; distinguish fundamental from derived quantities and units; measure distance, time, mass, weight, and volume accurately; calculate density, fluid pressure, Pascal's applications, upthrust, and relative density; analyze types of motion, friction coefficients, fluid terminal velocity, and centripetal forces; interpret velocity-time graphs and solve kinematic equations; resolve vectors and determine resultant forces/moments; analyze S.H.M. parameters (period, amplitude) and experimental 'g' values; apply Newton's laws of motion, momentum conservation, and recoil calculations.
