How Our Physics Syllabus Is Organised

This Physics topic sequence is Future Academy’s centre teaching sequence. It takes into account common teaching progressions used by Singapore IP schools, O-Level schools and A-Level schools, so students can consolidate school learning, prepare for upcoming topics, or target revision where it matters most.

The actual class sequence may be adjusted by the teacher in charge for a specific class. This allows the tutor to respond to the students’ school pace, class readiness, exam schedule and weaker areas while keeping the overall curriculum coverage clear.

IP School Classes — Available Now

We run selected classes specifically designed for students in IP schools, matching the rigour and curriculum of Integrated Programme schools. Enquire with us to find out which IP classes are currently running.

From 2022 Onwards

Revision Planning

How to Use This Physics Topic Sequence

This is Future Academy’s centre teaching sequence for Physics, informed by Singapore IP, O-Level and A-Level school topic progressions. Use it as a planning guide for structured revision, not just a checklist. The teacher in charge may adjust the actual order for a specific class based on school pace, class readiness, exam timing and weaker areas.

Start with prerequisites

Check units, vectors, algebra, graph reading and free-body diagrams before moving into forces, electricity, waves and H2 modelling.

Fix weak areas early

Revise misconceptions in motion graphs, moments, circuits or wave diagrams before attempting full papers or mixed revision sets.

Practise by topic first

Use topical practice to isolate formula application, graph interpretation and practical skills, then review mistakes before full papers.

Level-Specific Physics Guidance

Sec 3

Build conceptual progression through measurement, kinematics, forces, pressure and energy before heavier equation work.

Sec 4 / O-Level

Connect thermal physics, waves, light, electricity and electromagnetism with exam-style explanations and practical planning.

IP Students

Expect faster pacing, unfamiliar contexts, uncertainty, experimental design and more multi-step reasoning across chapters.

JC / H2

Move from mechanics into fields, oscillations, superposition, quantum physics and nuclear physics with stronger modelling.

FAQ

Physics Topic Sequence FAQ

Common questions about using the Physics sequence for O-Level, IP and H2 revision planning.

Use the sequence to check prerequisite concepts first, then practise topical questions before attempting full papers. For Physics, weak graph interpretation, units, vectors or algebra can affect later chapters such as forces, electricity and waves.

Mechanics trains the habits students need across Physics: defining quantities, drawing diagrams, interpreting graphs, applying formulas and explaining cause and effect. These habits carry into thermal physics, waves, electricity and H2 application questions.

Students should identify what each variable means, convert units carefully, draw the relevant diagram and explain why the formula applies. This prevents blind substitution and helps with multi-step problems.

Yes. IP and H2 students usually move through related ideas at greater depth and speed. The same sequence helps them organise foundations before extending into modelling, data analysis, experimental skills and unfamiliar contexts.

Yes. This is our centre teaching sequence, but the teacher in charge may adjust the actual class order based on school pace, class readiness, upcoming exams and the topics students need most urgently.

Personalised for Each Student

Customisable Lesson Plans

Every student has a different starting point. Depending on each student’s needs, strengths, and weaker areas, our tutors adjust the pace and emphasis of topics within lessons. This may mean spending more time on a difficult chapter, revisiting earlier foundations, or fast-tracking ahead when a student is ready.

Our maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6 makes this possible — there is enough individual attention for tutors to notice gaps and respond to them in the same lesson.

Want even more flexibility? One-on-one classes available.

Request specific topics, set your own pace, and receive undivided attention from your tutor. One-on-one tuition is available subject to teacher and timing availability. Additional class fees apply. WhatsApp us to enquire.

Centre Teaching Sequence

Topics are planned with Singapore IP, O-Level and A-Level school sequences in mind, with class-level adjustments made by the teacher in charge.

Maximum 1:6 Class Ratio

Our small-group model means tutors can adapt pace and focus for the students in the room — every lesson, every session.

Progress-Led Pacing

Tutors allocate more time to topics where students need it most, and move faster through areas the class has mastered.
