The Physics 12 curriculum guide represents one in a series of science guides especially designed to provide for the pupil whose primary interests are in non-science fields. The program provides study in physics in which fundamental concepts and understandings are developed, mathematical concepts are limited, and students are encouraged to relate physical concepts and understandings to daily experiences. An emphasis is placed on laboratory activity with the expectation that most of the understandings will develop from such experiences. Activities are contained in these five units: measuring matter at rest, matter in motion, heat energy, energy transfer by wave motion, and light waves. (Author/PR)
