This Senior Three Physics course, taught by Tr. Chemutai Leonard at Kapchorwa Secondary School, introduces learners to foundational concepts in mechanics, light, waves, and heat. Through interactive lessons, practical activities, and formative assessments, students will explore the behavior of matter and energy in real-world contexts. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and scientific inquiry aligned with the Ugandan lower secondary curriculum. Each topic integrates ICT tools and local examples to enhance relevance and learner engagement.

This course, S3 Physics by Tr. Roggers Waibi of Wante Muslim Secondary School, introduces learners to key physics concepts at Senior Three level. The topics covered include Reflection of Light, Refraction of Light, Waves and Sound, and Electricity & Magnetism.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Understand and apply the laws of reflection and refraction in everyday life.
- Describe the properties of waves and sound and their applications.
- Explore the principles of electricity and magnetism through experiments and simulations.
- Develop problem-solving skills through quizzes, discussions, and collaborative activities.
This course makes use of videos, interactive simulations, discussions, and peer learning to make physics engaging, practical, and enjoyable.
Learners are encouraged to participate actively, ask questions in the forum or support chat, and work together to strengthen their understanding of science.
