Physics Form 1 under the Zambia CBC framework introduces learners to basic physical concepts including motion, force, energy, heat, and electricity. Emphasis is placed on competence-based learning through practical experiments, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Learners practice ECZ-style questions, past papers, and syllabus-aligned exercises to strengthen understanding. 25schools provides structured revision materials, interactive practice, and guidance to help learners develop analytical skills, apply physics principles in real-life contexts, and prepare effectively for national examinations and continuous assessment.

Mechanics I
This topic covers scalar and vector quantities, linear motion, forces, circular motion, moment of a force, and equilibrium. Learners will distinguish between scalar and vector quantities, derive equations of motion, solve problems involving forces and circular motion, and apply the principle of moments. These fundamentals are crucial for ECZ exam success and develop problem-solving skills. Zambian students will learn to analyse real-world situations, such as vehicle motion and structural stability, in line with CBC learning outcomes.
