Course Description
Course Description
The Grade 10 Science Program is centered on a curriculum in Physics. It recognizes the place of science and technology in everyday human affairs. It integrates science and technology in the social, economic, personal, and ethical aspects of life. It promotes a strong link between science and technology as applied to the unique Filipino context. The syllabus highlights practical applications and environmental issues that build up on specific topics. It is designed conforming to a disciplined approach in teaching the scientific concepts in Physics.
Furthermore, science process skills are emphasized by integrating in the curriculum the execution of a year-long research project that would provide the learners an opportunity to address a specific problem in society in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As a culmination of their research project, the learners are given the opportunity to communicate their findings, hence, developing also their scientific communication skills.

At the end of the course, the students are expected to:
Explain the interrelationships among the different physical characteristics and processes of matter (COMPETENCE);
Demonstrate discernment and scientific process skills in investigating the natural world, which leads to caring for our planet through conserving energy and resources, preserving the environment and developing sustainably (CONSCIENCE);
Apply scientific methodologies in creating innovative solutions to face the global challenge of enhancing quality of life (COMMITMENT);
Communicate to others the importance of taking a scientific mindset in analyzing and solving the problems of society (COMPASSION); and
Gain a deeper appreciation of the order instituted by God in the natural world, which is a reflection of His own divine nature. (CHRIST-CENTEREDNESS)
