Teaching Physics and Chemistry

Physics for ages 12-14

Chemistry for ages 12-13

Roy Wilkinson outlines the background and practical guidelines for teaching these subjects:

6th grade--sound, light, heat, magnetism, electricity

7th grade--6th-grade subjects continued; mechanics, chemistry. Describe the work of factories and transport showing how physics, chemistry, geography, and natural science are interwoven.

8th grade--hydraulics, aeromechanics; practical applications of what has been studied in 6th and 7th grades: meteorology, climatology, chemistry
