Greetings to all , this side I am Saad Abdullah Makhdoom from Pakistan. I have always been interested in science subject so did my higher studies taking Physics as my principle subject . I am here to get associated with students who are keen to learn Science and especially phyiscs in very experimental way.

• Recomended Audience:

  The audience of this course is students of Grade-8 from ICSE Board. All the Chapters are well designed and its coverage as per latest curriculum released by the board. Still Student have complete flexibility to enhance or modify the course coverage during the course of learning process with Teacher. We are expecting that students of Grade-8should drive their classes with Teacher as per chapters mentioned and also as per syllabus of their school and applicable School district or Board.

• Pre-Requisite Requirement:

  For attending this course, prior knowledge of Grade-7  Physics  is required, this course assumes that students have prior experience with all the topics of Physics  of Grade-7. This is not an introductory class for absolute beginners on Physics of Grade-7. Participants should already be familiar with the basic learning objective.
