Physics 20 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite 65% in Science 10
The units of study are: Kinematics, Circular Motion, Work and Energy, Dynamics and Oscillatory Motion and Mechanical Waves.
Physics 30 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 65% in Physics 20
The units of study are Momentum and Impulse, Forces and Fields, Electromagnetic Radiation, and Atomic Physics. This course is typically used for students pursuing further education in sciences and Engineering.
Physics 20 AP (5 credits)
Prerequisite: 75% in Science 10 AP
The Advanced Placement Physics is designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college/university Physics course. The units of study are Kinematics, Dynamics, Circular Motion, Work and Energy, Oscillatory Motion and Mechanical Waves, Fluid Dynamics, and Circuits.
Physics 30 AP (5 credits)
Prerequisite: 75% in Physics 20 AP
This stream is recommended for highly motivated and capable students. The Advanced Placement Physics is designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college/university Physics course. The units of study are Momentum and Impulse, Forces and Fields, Electromagnetic Radiation, Atomic Physics, Electrical Circuits and Thermodynamics. It is an expectation that students will be writing the AP exam in May.
