decisions based on scientific evidences, and able to further their creatively through processes of understanding and applying
education and careers in the STEM field. physics in decision-making and problems solving.
4. Acknowledge that the knowledge of physics is temporary and
evolving.
5. Practise the usage of physics language and symbols and equip
pupils with skills in delivering phyiscs related ideas in the
relevant context.
6. Develop mindset about chemical concepts, theories and laws,
open-mindedness, objectiveness and proactiveness.
7. Realize social, economic, environmental and technological
implications in physics and caring for the environment and
society.
8. Appreciate physics and its application in helping to explain
