SPH 4U1 – Grade 12 University

Physics

This course enables students to deepen
their understanding of the concepts and
theories of physics. Students will explore
further the laws of dynamics and energy
transformations, and will investigate
electrical, gravitational, and magnetic
fields; electromagnetic radiation; and the
interface between energy and matter. They
will further develop inquiry skills, learning,
for example, how the interpretation of
experimental data can provide indirect
evidence to support the development of
scientific model. Students will also consider
the impact on society and the environment of
technological applications of physics.
