SPH 3U - Gr 11 Physics (University), Fall 2009

Page history last edited by Peter Kim 4 days ago

The Grade 11 Physics course is an introduction to the varied topics in this intriguing scientific discipline. Topics covered include forces in Newtonian mechanics; work, energy & power; geometric optics; electromagnetism and sound & waves. While the material appeals to a wide variety of interests, this course lays the foundation for later, more challenging concepts in physics.
