Course ID SPH4C
This course develops students’ understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will explore these concepts with respect to motion; mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, energy transformation, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems; and the operation of commonly used tools and machines. They will develop their scientific investigation skills as they test 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.

-
Motion and Its Applications (26 hrs)Students will develop an understanding of how all motion involves a change in the position of an object over time and describe this concept using mathematical relationships. Many technologies that utilize the principles of motion will be assessed for their impact on society and the environment.
-
Mechanical Systems (24 hrs)Students will demonstrate an understanding of how mechanical systems use force to do work. They will develop skills to describe the operation of mechanical systems using mathematical relationships. The influence that friction as a force has on the design, use, and effectiveness of mechanical systems will be explored. Finally, students will assess the ways in which mechanical systems can be used to address social and environmental challenges.

-
Electricity and Magnetism (22 hrs)In this unit, students will understand the predictability of the relationships between electricity and magnetism, as well as, their many technological applications. They will further explore both the positive and negative effects on society and the environment of technological applications that use electricity and magnetism.
-
Energy Transformations (18 hrs)Students will demonstrate an understanding of how energy can be transformed from one type to another and that systems that involve energy transformations are never entirely efficient. They will evaluate the responsible use of technological applications that involve energy transformations based on both the negative and positive effects these processes can have on society and the environment.
-
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems (20 hrs)Students will develop an understanding of how fluids under pressure can be used to do work and have predictable properties that make them useful in many technological applications. They will also assess the social and economic consequences of the uses of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
