Physics Scheme of Work for SS1 to SS3
Physics at SS1 builds the foundations: measurement, motion, energy, and waves. SS2 moves into light, sound, electric and magnetic fields, and atomic structure. SS3 condenses into one exam-focused term covering energy conversion, machines, dams, and rockets and satellites, including Nigeria’s own Niger-SAT 1 and NICOM-SAT 1. Below is the full scheme of work for all three levels, every term, so you always know exactly what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ₦3,000 cover the whole session for every level?
Yes. One payment of ₦3,000 gets you First, Second, and Third Term notes for SS1 and SS2, plus the full SS3 term for this subject.
Why does SS3 only have one term?
Physics at SS3 is structured as a single condensed term covering energy conversion, machines, dams, rockets and satellites, including Nigeria’s Niger-SAT 1 and NICOM-SAT 1, ahead of WAEC/NECO exams.
Does this scheme apply nationwide?
The core topic sequence follows the national curriculum, though individual schools sometimes adjust pacing around their own midterm and exam dates.
Can I get the lesson notes already written?
Yes. We can write the full set for you, SS1 to SS3, the whole session. Message us on WhatsApp to get started.
