Welcome to Physical Science Grade 11/12 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on the topic Models of the Universe (Greek Astronomy to Kepler)!
Our hands are the most represented parts of the human body. It is often used to depict skill, action, and purpose. With our hands, we create, accomplish and learn. Hence, you are capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be able to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
This module will help you understand space-time warping and determine the consequences of General Relativity. This module will provide you with discussions and learning activities designed in such a way that students can easily understand.
CONTENT STANDARD: The learners demonstrate an understanding of Relativity and the Big Bang.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learners should be able to create a video presentation that details the impact of the Theory of Relativity to human.
LEARNING COMPETENCIES: The learners must explain the consequences of the postulates of General Relativity (eg. correct predictions of shifts in the orbit of Mercury, gravitational bending of light, and black holes)
- Lesson 1 – The Modern Theory of Gravitation
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Describe gravity based on General Relativity.
2. Explain the consequences of the postulates of General Relativity.
3. Determine how General Relativity can be observed in real life situations.
