The document outlines an integrated science curriculum for Form 3 students over 8 weeks. It covers topics in electricity including circuits and magnetism. Students will learn to distinguish conductors and insulators, set up circuits, and measure current. The unit also addresses magnetism, electromagnetism, light, and optics. Key concepts are the magnetic effects of current, factors influencing electromagnet strength, reflection and refraction of light, and the causes of shadows and eclipses.
