MIN. GUIDELINE: The Ontario Curriculum Grades 11 and 12 – Science

DESCRIPTION: This course develops student’s understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will explore these concepts as they relate to mechanical, electrical, fluid (hydraulic and pneumatic) and communication systems, as well as to the operation of commonly used tools and equipment. They will develop scientific-inquiry skills as they verify accepted laws of physics and solve both assigned problems and those emerging from their investigations. Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.

CORE UNITS:

  1. Mechanical Systems
  2. Electricity and Electronics
  3. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
  4. Communications Technology
  5. Energy Transformations

PREREQUISITE: Science, Grade 10, Academic, Enriched or Applied, i.e. SNC 2D1, SNC 2DE or SNC
