Physics Lesson Plans Form One 2027 | 53 TIE-Aligned Plans

About these lesson plans

These 53 Form One Physics lesson plans follow the competence-based planning format used with the new TIE curriculum. They cover the concept of physics, physical quantities, linear motion, force, density, pressure, work, power and energy, measuring instruments, using mathematics in physics, experiments, data analysis and graphing, and building simple prototype devices. Plans are written for either a 40-minute single period or an 80-minute double period.

What every lesson plan contains

Each plan uses the same seven-part header and a four-stage teaching structure:

Header sections: class information (registered and present learners by gender), main competence, specific competence, main activity, specific activity, teaching and learning resources, and references.
Teaching structure: Introduction, Competence Development, Design and Realisation, each with timing, teacher activities, learning activities and assessment criteria.
Remarks: space for your reflection after the lesson.
School details: a blank field for your school name, ready to complete.

Teaching structure
Stage	Time (min)	Teacher's activities	Learning activities	Assessment criteria
Introduction	5	Start with an engaging question: “What is physics?” and gather responses. Present a brief definition: physics is the study of matter, energy and the interactions between them.	Respond to the question on what physics is.	The concept of Physics is clearly explained.
Competence Development	15	Divide learners into small groups and assign each a branch of physics (for example mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics and quantum physics).	Each group researches its branch: definition, key concepts and real-life applications, using textbooks or the internet.	The concept of Physics is clearly explained.
Design	10	Guide learners to work individually or in pairs to create a mind map or poster showing the branches of physics.	Create the mind map or poster.	The concept of Physics is clearly explained.
Realisation	10	Use flashcards, questions and answers, and written assignments.	Respond to flashcards, oral questions and written assignments.	The concept of Physics is clearly explained.

Note: This is one of 53 plans. The full download follows the same layout for every lesson. Add your school name and class numbers, and adjust timings to your timetable before use.
