__GENERAL INFO__
DESCRIPTION > This course develops students' understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will study the laws of dynamics and explore different kinds of forces, the quantification and forms of energy (mechanical, sound, light, thermal, and electrical), and the way energy is transformed and transmitted. They will develop scientific-inquiry skills as they verify accepted laws and solve both assigned problems and those emerging from their investigations. Students will also analyse the interrelationships between physics and technology, and consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.

> **NOTE:** The overall expectations for each unit of study are detailed below. To see a list of specific expectations for each unit please refer to the Ministry of Education's webdocument: The Ontario Science Curriculum - Grades 11 & 12 (revised 2008)

TESTS, ASSIGNMENTS, & DUE DATES
 * Students are expected to be in class for all test and assignment submission dates. __Proper documentation is required if you have an extenuating circumstance that does not allow you to attend class on that day.__ Communication is necessary and required. So, if you know you are going to be absent talk to the teacher beforehand and let them know of your planned absence. For unplanned absences, a phone call, an email, or a message via the app Remind is needed.
 * Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date. Assignments submitted past the due date, without extenuating circumstances and without discussing it with the teacher prior to the due date, will not be evaluated. However, they are still required to demonstrate your understanding of the course expectations listed below.
 * **Late marks are 10% for grade 9 & 10 and 20% for grade 11 & 12 (including weekends & holidays)**

__UNIT 3: ENERGY & SOCIETY__
BIG IDEAS
 * Energy can be transformed from one type to another.

 * analyse technologies that apply principles of and concepts related to energy transformations, and assess the technologies' social and environmental impact;
 * investigate energy transformations and the law of conservation of energy, and solve related problems;
