How to Use These Resources
Depending on your interest and teaching goals, you can use these resources in different ways.
Run Your Own Inquiry-based Physics Course: You will find almost everything you need to run a full, lecture-free physics course that is rich in scientific exploration and will train students in the skills they need for any post-secondary program. All you have to do is gather the equipment, print the handbooks for students, set up students in groups, and have fun doing physics!
Build Your Personal Understanding: Use the resources yourself to explore familiar concepts in a fresh, deep way. Read and work through the handbooks and build your personal understanding of the course content. We aren't all experts on every aspect of the course, so there is a good chance you will find helpful explanations and techniques in each unit.
Discover New Experiments and Activities: Explore the different activities and experiments for each unit and find ones to try in your own course.
Replace Your Lesson Notes: You might not be ready to move away from teacher-led lessons; no problem! Use the guided-inquiry investigations as an outline for your teaching notes (the lessons you would deliver) and replace the group work with less formal student discussions and reflection.
Grade 11 Physics
Handbook: Contains the daily investigations (lessons) that students work through
Project: Our major project that we start after the energy unit
Solution Sheets: The standard pages we use to write-up our solutions for motion, force, energy, and wave problems
Course Guide PowerPoints: Presentations that compliment our daily lessons and include: equipment photos, multiple-choice concept questions, metacognition questions, supplemental images, videos, and examples for lessons
