Grade 12 Physics — SPH4U Course name Grade level Ministry code Teacher Description Expectations 12 Physics Grade 12, University Prep SPH4U Rachel Baker This course gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the concepts and theories of physics. Students will revisit and develop further their appreciation of the laws of dynamics and energy transformations, electromagnetic radiation, and fields (electrical, gravitational, and magnetic). Using this knowledge, they will develop the relationship between energy and matter. Throughout the course, students will further develop their inquiry skills and look at the impact of physics applications on society and the environment. COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Laptop Computer Graphing Calculator Textbook Binder and paper Pens, pencils, eraser Ruler ATTENDANCE: You are responsible for completing the work covered during your absence. Any difficulties should be discussed with your teacher immediately. HOMEWORK/TESTS/ASSIGNMENTS: Homework is to be completed weekly, and will be checked at the beginning of the first class in the week. If homework is not complete, you will be asked to attend Homework Study Hall. If you have difficulty with homework, you should see your teacher prior to class. If an assignment is not submitted by the deadline, an agreement on an extended deadline can be made between the student and teacher based on circumstance. Assignments not handed in by the extended deadline will receive an incomplete grade. If you have a documented reason for missing a test, then the test should be written prior to the next scheduled period for which you are present. You should arrange this time with your teacher. If you know that you will be absent for a test day, please advise your teacher in advance. Arrangements will be made so that you can write your test prior to the test day. All students must perform and report all labs. Missed labs must be made up OUTSIDE of class time. Lab reports must be written up individually.
