Course Outline:

Physics 12

Physics 12 explores the world of motion and fields. It is designed to build on the knowledge the student gained in physics 11.

The course focuses on four big ideas. Measurements of motion depends on our frame of reference. Forces can cause linear and circular motion. Momentum is conserved within a closed isolated system. Forces and energy interactions occur within fields.

Physics 12 emphasizes real-life applications and helps students connect their learning to the world around them.

Several virtual labs deepen student understanding of content and scaffold important lab writing skills. There is also one final home project that expands on one or more areas from the course. Physics 11 should be taken prior to physics 12 to ensure all necessary skills are developed.

Students may take this course as part of the EBUS Academy pre-science program. The EBUS pre-science program offers students an opportunity to take online science 11 and 12 courses and access enriched learning opportunities through the University of Northern BC (UNBC).
