Course Description: This is the last 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 6 summary: In Physics, students learn the difference between heat and temperature. They study specific heat, heat transfer and state change of materials due to heat. Students will also learn mechanical properties solids, liquids and gases. Archimedes principle, liquid pressure and atmospheric pressure are also covered here. In Chemistry, students learn Boyle’s law, Charles’ law and other gas laws. They also understand the concept of ideal gas and move on to study Graham’s law of diffusion. In Mathematics, students learn to identify arithmetic and geometric progressions and find the sum of the series of such progressions. They learn theory of equations and associated theorems. In geometry, they learn to compute the areas and volumes of various geometrical entities. In Biology, the first part covers a deep dive into the theory of evolution exploring both Darwinism and Lamarckism. Evolutionary adaptations are also discussed here. Second part covers plant tissues, photosynthesis and plant modifications.
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.
