Grade 11 -General Science- 1ST QUARTER ||S/Y 2026-2027|| STRENGTHENED SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

The video welcomes incoming Grade 11 students to the Strengthened Senior High School program, outlining General Science as one of the four core subjects. It specifies that the curriculum discussion is for the academic year 2026-2027, with a focus on the first-quarter general science topics.

General Science is a core subject for Grade 11 across all tracks, requiring 160 hours per school year, equating to 4 hours per week. The first quarter will primarily focus on physics principles and their applications.

By the end of the first quarter, learners are expected to identify general physics principles and their daily applications, use scientific principles to solve problems and make informed decisions, and illustrate their application for self, society, and environment. They will also design simple machines, hydraulic systems, and evaluate energy-efficient practices at home and local businesses, as well as explore light and sound applications in various fields.

The first-quarter content includes: Physics in daily life, application of translational and rotational motion, simple and compound machines, the physics of fluids, utilization of electricity, and understanding and using light and sound.

The content standards emphasize understanding how physics principles apply to everyday living, using linear and angular quantities to design efficient machines, improving machine efficiency through basic physics, analyzing electricity generation and consumption for better management, and recognizing properties of light and sound for safe and productive applications.

The video outlines 12 specific learning competencies, including identifying how physics enhances quality of life, comparing translational and rotational motion, demonstrating relationships between linear and angular quantities through activities, applying motion concepts to build machine prototypes, explaining simple and compound machines, and describing hydraulic system uses. It also covers Archimed and Pascal's principles in various contexts, designing models to study buoyancy, discussing electrical safety, proposing ways to minimize energy loss, identifying applications of light and sound in technology, and recognizing innovations related to sound and light.
