Physics 12
WELCOME STUDENTS! ;)
This course, a continuation of Grade 11 Physics (SPH3U1), enables
students to deepen their understanding of the concepts
of physics. Students will further explore the laws of dynamics and
energy transformations, and will investigate electrical, gravitational
and magnetic fields; electromagnetic radiation; and the interface
between energy and matter. They will further develop inquiry skills for
learning, for example, how the interpretation of experimental data can
provide evidence to support a scientific model. The course will
emphasize problem-solving.
The course also provides a good foundation for further studies in
physics at the university and college levels. A good foundation in
mathematics is essential for this course. Grade 11 Physics and Grade 11
Mathematics are prerequisites, and Grade 12 Mathematics courses are
helpful. Students are strongly encouraged to do a minimum 1 hour
of homework every day.
