Applications of Physics 11 and 12 Focussing on practical applications, science concepts are explained in depth to show how they relate to each other in real-world systems. Students learn to work scientifically, collaboratively, responsibly and safely. Grade 11 curriculum includes linear and rotational force, pressure, voltage, temperature, rate, energy and resistance. Grade 12 curriculum includes transformers, momentum, energy conversion, transducers, waves and vibrations, electricity and magnetism. Applications of Mathematics 9 to 12 Courses provide a basic foundation of mathematical literacy in preparation for post-secondary education or careers.
Students gain a solid base for using math skills in a variety of real-world contexts.
Technological tools are used by students to help them conceptualize mathematical ideas and solve problems. Grade 11 topics include money management, use of technological tools for graphing and solving equations, vectors, geometry, data analysis and trigonometry. Grade 12 topics include financial decision making, matrices, fractal geometry, linear programming, non-linear functions, and project design and layout. Knowledge and skills for the modern world B.C. schools are doing an excellent job of teaching the three Rs and traditional curricula. To meet new challenges, students need to develop key social and workplace skills as a formal part of their educational experience.
