Nelson Physics 12

Physics 12

Specifically developed for the Physics, Grade 12, University Preparation (SPH4U) Curriculum

Authors

Al Hirsch Charles Stewart David Martindale Maurice Barry

Program Goals

1To ensure a thorough and comprehensible treatment of all content and process expectations in the SPH4U curriculum ? Complex physics concepts are presented in a clear,

understandable fashion ? Important concepts, such as static equilibrium, are treated in

greater depth than specified in the curriculum

2 To equip students with the independent learning, problem solving and research skills essential for success in post-secondary studies ? Self-contained and self-explanatory lessons ? A variety of self-evaluation and self-checking strategies ? A mature design similar to what students will experience with

first year university/college texts ? The placement of lab activities at the end of chapters

parallels the formal separation of theory and labs in university courses ? Extension and web link strategies provide opportunities to hone individual research and study skills

3 To acknowledge the science background and level of preparation of students entering this new course ? A wealth of diagnostic activities ? Regular practice, assessment, and remediation opportunities ? Grade 11 skills reviewed next to its Grade 12 counterpart ? University of Waterloo Sir Isaac Newton (S.I.N.) contest

questions provide an extended analysis of new concepts

4 To support busy teachers with the implementation and administration of this new curriculum ? Student lessons accommodate independent learning ? A comprehensive array of planning and assessment tools

reduce lesson preparation time ? Access to a variety of different instructional approaches
