Objectives of the Course

To ensure that students learn the concepts of force, speed and acceleration, the importance of experiment in science and methods of experimenting by trying them.

Course Content

Learning the methods of studying in the laboratory, the investigation of motions of bodies under the the effects of different forces and observing the relation between force, acceleration and distance, to be able to see relation between theory and experiment. Electrical charges, electric field and electric potential and relation between them, Direct current, Relationship between electric current and magnetism.
