Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U)

The Ontario Grade 12 university-preparation course Physics (SPH4U) has six strands. The museum maps three of them, with five lessons, through engineers and scholars of the Islamic world; the strands on energy and momentum, fields, and modern physics have no honest link.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand A: Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration

The skills and careers strand of the Grade 12 Physics course (expectations A1, A2).

  1. Scientists and engineers of the Islamic world Describing the contributions of scientists to the fields under study (A2.2). CareersScholar

Strand B: Dynamics
