Physics 111

Course Code: 1225431

Distance Facilitator: Jennifer Amos

Prerequisite(s): None

Topics of study, including one-dimensional kinematics and dynamics, wave motion, sound and light, introduction to electromagnetic radiation and work/energy/power, are investigated in great depth. The course aims to engage students in relating physics concepts to societal contexts and applications. A student-centred approach to theoretical and practical investigations is the basis of the curriculum.

Physics 111-121 are sequential courses that utilize the discovery approach to scientific learning. Since these are enriched courses, students should have a genuine interest in science and better than average achievement in science and mathematics. The scientific method is used in gathering experimental data, and laboratory work is the focus of these courses. Topics are the same as in Physics 112-122, but the depth of coverage is greater.

Students work in writing communities with their peers to exchange feedback and encourage progress.
