Course Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Physics 11 is an introductory course that focuses on the principles and theories of physics, encourages investigation of physical relationships, and illustrates the relationship between theory and application. Topics covered in this course include Kinematics, Dynamics, Vectors, Energy and Momentum, Nuclear Physics and Radiation, Modern Physics, and Optics. Physics involves a working understanding of mathematics. ~It is recommended that students take Math 10 Principles before taking Physics 11.<\/p>\n

Physics is the search for order in the world around and the quest to understand the laws that govern our universe. The study of physics encompasses remarkably diverse topics including the study of motion, forces, energy, fluids, heat, sound, optics, electricity and magnetism, and the more abstract topics of relativity, atomic structure, and nuclear physics.<\/p>\n

Students are evaluated on regular homework assignments, laboratory activities, and occasional projects, as well as regular quizzes and tests. Tests weigh more heavily in the overall mark.<\/p>\n

Mathematical relations often describe the laws of physics. Consequently, students need to be proficient in basic algebra and trigonometry in order to solve typical physics problems. Students must also be proficient readers since the physics textbook is written at a much higher level than the general science textbooks used in the junior science courses.<\/p>\n
