Course Description: This is the fifth of six courses designed as a ‘foundation course series’ for developing strong foundations in core science and mathematics. Students can choose engineering, medicine, pure science research or any other area later.These set of courses are to be taken during their years in class 8th to class 10th. There are 6 levels from Level 1 to Level 6. Each level is designed to take eight weeks. Each level has video lessons in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. The Lessons are structured on weekly basis. Students can take self-tests at the end of every topic. Final assessment test can be taken at the end of the course.
Level 5 summary: In Physics, students learn basics of static electricity and then move on to current electricity. They will learn the basics of magnetism and then understand the relationship between magnetism and electricity along with applications of Faraday’s laws like motors and dynamos. In Chemistry, students are introduced to organic chemistry by studying special properties of carbon and then move on to hydrocarbons. IUPAC nomenclature is discussed and the skill of naming the organic compounds is taught. In Mathematics, students study quadratic equations, approaches to solving them and nature of roots. In geometry, students learn theorems related to circles and their tangents in detail. They also learn circumcenter, in-center and cyclic quadrilaterals. In Biology, students study immunology in details. This covers humoral and cell mediated immunity, diagnostic procedures, antibiotics and vaccines. Microorganisms and the diseases caused by them are also studied here.
How best to utilize this course?
- Once you register, make weekly allocation of about 4 hours to work on this course and stick to these timings
- Watch the assigned videos for the week, one subject at a time and complete the corresponding self-tests.
- Make notes in your note book while watching the videos.
- Complete the home work or ‘do it yourself’ questions if specified in the video sessions
- Discuss with friends / parents / teachers about things that you liked while watching the videos
- At the end of 8 weeks, revise your notes and re-watch some videos if needed, and then take the final assessment test. This completes the course.
