Grade 12 Physics
Overview of Grade 12 Physics
Grade 12 Physics empowers students to deepen their comprehension of physics concepts and theories. It delves into the laws of dynamics and energy transformations, as well as delving into electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, and the nexus between energy and matter. The emphasis lies on honing skills in scientific inquiry, with a focus on understanding how the interpretation of experimental data can offer indirect evidence to bolster the development of scientific models. Additionally, students will ponder the societal and environmental impacts of technological applications stemming from physics.

York Region Tutoring encourages all students to diligently work through past tests meticulously crafted from YRDSB/YCDSB school teachers in our Past Test Bank. These tests typically adhere to a stringent format, thus completing them provides students with an invaluable opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, it allows them to pinpoint areas that demand more attention. Engaging with past tests also equips students with enhanced confidence when facing school evaluations, as they become familiarized with the test’s structure and the general nature of questions posed. However, it’s important to note that while past tests offer insights into recurring question types, there’s no guarantee that they will perfectly align with school evaluations. Test creation is inherently subjective, granting teachers the freedom to exercise their creative discretion when formulating questions.
Grade 12 Physics Ontario Curriculum (University) Breakdown
- Forces affect motion in predictable and quantifiable ways.
- Forces acting on an object will determine the motion of that object.
- Many technologies that utilize the principles of dynamics have societal and environmental implications.
- Energy and momentum are conserved in all interactions. Interactions involving the laws of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum can be analyzed mathematically.
- Technological applications that involve energy and momentum can affect society and the environment in positive and negative ways
- Gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces act on matter from a distance.
- Gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields share many similar properties.
- The behavior of matter in gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields can be described mathematically.
- Technological systems that involve gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields can have an effect on society and the environment.
- Light has properties that are similar to the properties of mechanical waves.
- The behavior of light as a wave can be described mathematically.
- Technologies that use the principles of the wave nature of light can have societal and environmental implications.
- Light can show particle-like and wave-like behavior, and particles can show wavelike behavior.
- The behavior of light as a particle and the behavior of particles as waves can be described mathematically.
York Region Tutoring Provides
If a student is approaching a forthcoming test, we can provide them with a previous test to be completed at home before their upcoming session. Subsequently, during their next class, just before the exam, they can review the test with their tutor. These tests are exclusively sourced from high schools in York Region and other areas in Ontario, serving as the definitive benchmark for students to assess their readiness.
York Region Tutors and are equipped with drawing tablets making collaboration simple, efficient and effective. We also offer drawing tablets at a discount for purchase to students who really take to the functionality of the product.
At the parents’ request, following each tutoring session, our tutors can assign homework tailored to address weaknesses and reinforce strengths in students. Additionally, we incorporate homework questions directly extracted from previous tests and quizzes administered by YRDSB school teachers, allowing students to familiarize themselves with potential test questions.
