Physics 11

The full BC Physics 11 curriculum — kinematics, dynamics, energy, circuits, and waves — in twenty-two focused days. Fast, hands-on, and built so that showing up and practising pays off.

Start Here

New here? This is the daily rhythm. Everything is posted so you can review or work ahead anytime — you don't have to do it all at once. Each day, I'll tell you exactly what to focus on.

1

Check the agenda

The 22-Day Agenda shows today's unit and focus.

2

Follow the notes

We work through the unit's Notes Package together in class.

3

Practise

Do the Practice Set during work time, then check the answer key.

4

Review before tests

Run the Study Guide to find your gaps before each test.

01

The Course

This is a full-credit senior science course covering the complete BC Physics 11 curriculum, organized around four Big Ideas. Class runs in short instruction bursts followed by hands-on problem-solving and labs — you’re doing physics every day.

01

Motion

An object’s motion can be predicted, analyzed, and described.

02

Forces

Forces influence the motion of an object.

03

Energy

Energy is found in different forms, is conserved, and can do work.

04

Waves

Mechanical waves transfer energy, but not matter.

02

22-Day Agenda

A day-by-day map of the four weeks. Pacing is brisk — each summer day is roughly a week of regular-semester class, so attendance and nightly practice matter. (Draft — subject to adjustment.)

03

Units & Materials

Notes packages, worksheets with answer keys, and review sets for every unit. Open a unit to find its topics and downloads.

04

Resources

Your textbook, formula sheet, simulations, practice banks, and video channels — everything you need to study outside of class.

05

Final Exam Review

The cumulative final is Friday, July 31. Start the review packages early and bring questions to the last review days.

06

Grading & Expectations

Physics 11 is a full-credit course worth 4 credits. Here's how it's graded — and what it takes to succeed.

45%

Unit tests — four, one per unit (Kinematics · Dynamics · Energy · Circuits).

35%

Cumulative final — all five units, Friday July 31.

20%

Lab reports — four hands-on labs.

Lab reports are assessed with the Lab Assessment Rubric — four BC science criteria, marked on the Emerging → Extending proficiency scale.

Daily problem sets and an early Kinematics quiz are for practice and feedback — not for marks. They're how you get ready for what counts.

Attend every day

Twenty-two days is the whole course — one missed day is like a full week in a regular semester.

Practise nightly

Plan about two hours each evening. Practice is the best predictor of your mark.

Bring questions

Office hours 12:40–1:00 daily, no appointment needed.

Know the rules

Read the Code of Conduct & Exam Etiquette below.

07

Student Code of Conduct & Exam Etiquette

A focused, respectful room is how everyone does their best work — especially in a fast summer course. These are the expectations from Day 1.

Every Day

Arrive on time and ready. Respect yourself, your classmates, and the space. Academic honesty always — your work is your own.

On Test & Quiz Days

Backpacks lined up along the back wall or left in your locker. Nothing on your desk but your calculator, the formula sheet, and a pen/pencil.

Devices Away

Phones, smart watches, earbuds, and smart glasses (incl. Meta glasses) fully away and out of sight. No food, drinks, or other distractions.
