ICSE Syllabus for Class 6 Physics

ICSE Class 6th syllabus contains mainly the basics of different branches of Physics and that's why your command over 6th Class Physics concepts will surely help in upcoming Classes. 

It covers these chapters of Physics,

• Physical Quantities and Ways of Measurements

• Energy

• Force 

• Light 

• Magnetism 

Physical Quantities and Ways of Measurement

Here you will learn how to measure various physical quantities like mass, time, temperature, and area. The chapter contains similarities with mathematics, but you can acquire knowledge by reading the theories and concepts related to the unit of measurements and their inter-relation.

It includes various topics of measurements which are :

• Measurement of Length 

• Measurement of Mass

• Measurements of time

• Measurement of temperature

• Measurement of Area

Energy

The chapter named ‘Energy’ deals with machines and levers. Studying this chapter thoroughly can help you gain knowledge regarding the concepts like a mechanical advantage, degrees of levers, and simple machines along with their types. 

The various topics included in the Energy chapter of 6th Class Physics are : 

• Simple Mechanics

• Simple Machines and their types 

• Different orders of levers

Force

The basics of force and fiction are present in this chapter. You can clear up your concepts regarding the direction, mass, and other vital theories related to higher Physics. You can also get how matter can change its size and shape if an external force is applied to it. 

The topics included in ICSE 6th Class Physics syllabus chapter Force are : 

• Push effect of Force 

• Pull effect of Force

• Effect of force on Mass

• Effect of force on direction of Speed 

• Effect of force as Change in shape and size

• Force of Friction

• Real-world problems of Force

Light

As per the Class 6 Physics for the ICSE board, you will learn about light and its importance in the universe. You can also know how it travels through different environments and at what speed. Moreover, there are many exciting experiments with light that you can try in your Class. 

Topics included in the Light chapter of the Class 6th Physics are:

• Rectilinear properties of light

• Shadows

Magnetism

The final chapter of the ICSE syllabus of Physics Class 6 deals with Magnetism. In this chapter, you will know how to spot a magnet and the substances that can acquire magnetic properties. There are concepts about the poles of the magnet and experiments on changing things into magnets and demagnetization. Another important thing that you will know is the difference between a natural magnet and an electromagnet. 

The various topics included in this chapter are : 

• Magnetic and Nonmagnetic substances

• Characteristics of a magnet 

• Properties of Magnets

• Magnetic field around a magnet

• Permanent & temporary magnets

• Uses of Permanent and Temporary Magnets

• Care & storage of magnets

• Demagnetization by 

1. heating, 

2. hammering

3. electricity
