Ethiopian Grade 12 Physics Teacher Guide [PDF]

Ethiopian Grade 12 Physics Teacher Guide [PDF]: This is not only a Teacher’s Guide but is also a success guide for students of Ethiopia. All Physics Teachers must download this guideline for teaching purposes. This book is the design and developed by the expert commute of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Ministry of Education.

After completing grade 12 physics lessons the students will be able to: understand the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamical processes, work and heat in thermodynamic processes, heat engines, reversible and irreversible processes, and develop skills in applying the laws of thermodynamics to describe the physical phenomenon.
