Nelson Physics 12

Nelson Physics 12 provides a rigorous, comprehensive, and accurate treatment of all concepts and processes presented in Ontario's Physics, Grade 12, university Preparation course (SPH4U). This resource thoroughly equips students with the independent learning, problem-solving, and research skills that are essential to successfully meet the entrance requirements for university programs. Complex Physics concepts are presented in a clear, understandable fashion and key concepts, such as static equilibrium, are treated in greater depth than specified in the curriculum.

Physics in Focus Year 12 Student Book meets the complete requirements of the 2017 NSW NESA Stage 6 Physics syllabus in intent, content and sequence. The student book is written in accessible language and provides clear explanation of concepts throughout. Scenario-style questions at the end of each module and review quizzes at the end of each chapter allow students to review, analyse and evaluate content, to develop a clear understanding across the curriculum areas.

This new series adopts a qualitative and quantitative model approach to the teaching of physics. Models, laws and theories are developed and used to explain and predict physical phenomena, from the very small to the very large. Students investigate their predictions using the scientific method and by interpreting second hand data (SIS strand).
