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.

An introduction to astronomy written with a historical perspective.

This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions and consequences of Einstein’s pathbreaking achievements that sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time, radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity. Particular attention is paid to the implications of conceptual conflicts for scientific views of the world at large, thus providing the basis for a comparison of the demise of the mechanical worldview at the turn of the 20th century with the challenges presented by cosmology at the turn of the 21st century. Throughout the work, Einstein’s contributions are not seen in isolation but instead set into the wider intellectual context of dealing with the problem of gravitation in the twilight of classical physics; the investigation of the historical development is carried out with a number of epistemological questions in mind, concerning, in particular, the transformation process of knowledge associated with the changing worldviews of physics.

Physics, 11th Edition provides students with the skills that they need to succeed in this course, by focusing on conceptual understanding; problem solving; and providing real-world applications and relevance. Conceptual Examples, Concepts and Calculations problems, and Check Your Understanding questions help students to understand physics principles. Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and Examples with reasoning steps help students to improve their reasoning skills while solving problems. "The Physics Of" boxes show students how physics principles are relevant to their everyday lives.

Students best learn science when they do science. That's why this modern program puts the focus on the student experience. With Experience Physics, learning is based on doing science. This new program implements a learning model that: * Organizes learning around phenomena, giving students an authentic, real-world experience. * Includes a variety of hands-on and digital activities designed to reach every learner. * Partners with Flinn Scientific to deliver high-quality inquiry labs, engineering workbenches, and performance assessments. * Allows instructors to personalize their course by selecting from our activities or embedding their own.

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.
