Physics 11

This course explores the fundamental principles governing motion, forces, energy, and waves. Students learn how an object’s motion can be described, analyzed, and predicted, and how forces influence changes in that motion. The course also examines energy in its various forms, emphasizing conservation and its ability to do work. In addition, students study mechanical waves and how they transfer energy through a medium without transferring matter. The different course activities will provide students with a wide variety of opportunities to learn the concepts and understand the course ideas while developing the skills required for scientific and technological inquiry, problem-solving, communicating scientific ideas and results, and working collaboratively. The approach in this course is mathematical, and students are expected to be able to solve algebraic and numerical problems comfortably.

Course Prerequisite: Proficient in Science 10 and Math 10 is highly recommended.
