The grade 11 physics course in the Ontario curriculum is designed to develop students' understanding of basic concepts of physics. Students will explore kinematics, with an emphasis on linear motion; different kinds of forces; energy transformations; the properties of mechanical waves and sound; and electricity and magnetism. They will enhance their scientific investigation skills as they test laws of physics through activities and labs. In addition, students will analyse the interrelationships between physics and technology, and consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.
