Physics 20
Welcome to Physics 20
In Physics 20 you will learn more than facts. You will be encouraged to develop positive attitudes and to
acquire and use knowledge and skills in responsible ways. Your studies will lead you to achievements in each
ofthe following fourareas prescribed by the Alberta Program ofStudies.

Attitudes Students willbe encouragedto develop attitudes that supportthe responsible acquisition and
application ofscientific andtechnological knowledge to the mutual benefit ofself, society, andthe
|environment.

Knowledge Studentswillconstructknowledge andunderstandings ofconcepts in life science, physical
jscience, andEarth and space science and applythese understandings to interpret, integrate, and extendtheir
knowledge.
Foundation 3
—
Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Students willdevelop anunderstanding ofthe nature ofscience
andtechnology, the relationships between science andtechnology, and the social and environmental contexts
ofscience andtechnology.
Foundation 4
—
Skills Students willdevelop the skills required for scientific andtechnological inquiry, forsolvingproblems,
forcommunicating scientific ideas andresults, forworking collaboratively, andformaking informed
^decisions.
This coursebuilds uponthe scientific concepts from
Grade 7 Science, Unit D: Structures and Forces
Grade 8 Science, Unit D: Mechanical Systems
Grade 9 Science, Unit E: Space Exploration
Science 10, Unit B: EnergyFlow inTechnological Systems
Physics 20 is composedoffourunits thatprepare students forfurther study inthe position andvelocity of
objects and systems, the concepts offields andgravitational effects, circularmotion, mechanical energy, work
andpower, simple harmonic motion, andmechanical waves. Theseunits are
UnitA: Kinematics
Unit B: Dynamics
Unit C: CircularMotion, Work, and Energy
Unit D: Oscillatory Motion and Mechanical Waves

About Physics 20
The learning model used in Chemistry 20 is designedto be engaging andto have youparticipate in inquiry and
problem solving. You will actively interpret and criticallyreflect onyour learningprocess. Learningbegins
within a community setting at the centre ofa largerprocess ofteaching and learning. You will be encouraged
to share yourknowledge and experiences by interaction, feedback, debate, andnegotiation.
Components
This Physics 20 course has three main components. It consists ofeight Student Module Booklets, eight
Assignment Booklets, and the Physics 20 Multimedia DVD.
Course Structure
The courseuses the following structure to connectyou to the relevant curriculum and scientific concepts in
Physics 20. These components are used consistently throughout the course and will help you in seeing the
context and overall contentofthe program.
Unit
The units ofstudy are identified in the Program ofStudies. Units are defined by subjectmatterand are not
limited by quantity ofcontent ortime ofstudy. Each unit is comprised ofmodules (usually one foreach
general outcome), includes a general introduction and a visual representation ofcontent structure (e.g., concept
organizer/site map) as well as a list ofgeneral outcomes to be addressed, and includes a unit summary and
!
assessment.
Module
Each module consists ofcontent developed around a general ormajoroutcome. Modules are comprised of
lessons and include the introductory sections Big Picture, In This Module, and Module Summary and
Assessment.
Big Picture
Big Picture provides a briefintroductionto the module while connecting to yourpriorlearning andpersonal
knowledge. Itrefers to the essential questions ofthe module and invites youto reflectonthe “bigpicture”
withinyourown context.
Discuss
Discussprovides opportunities foryouto interactwithyourpeers andteacher. Discussiontopics and
collaborative activities shouldbe independent ofdeliverymode, giventhevariety oftechnology access and
deliverymethods in schools.
Explore
Explore encourages youto investigate new concepts throughpreparation andpresentation (Read), multimedia
interactions (Watch and Listen), hands-on simulations (Labs), and explorative activities (TryThis).
Components withinthis section oftendo not follow a specific order. Forexample, youcando Watchand
Listen afterTryThis ordo Labs before Read.
Get Focused
GetFocusedencourages youto focus onthe task athandandthe outcomes to achieve. It includes alist of
knowledge outcomes, STS outcomes, and/or skills outcomes. Itprepares you forthe upcoming lessonby
providing a lessonrubric, a list ofassessment items, and a list ofrequired equipment andmaterials.
Going Beyond
GoingBeyondgives you the choice ofchallenging and enriching yourknowledgebeyondthe lesson.
Lab
Labs include hands-on activities with available equipment/materials and/ormultimedia simulations ofa lab.
Lesson
Each lesson consists ofthe main learning content fromwhichyou explore, reflect, and connect. The length of
each lesson is definedby content that covers at least one measurable outcome.
Read
The Read componentuses textual material to convey concepts to you. This material may appeardirectly
within this component. Alternatively, it maybe presented indirectly through anotherresource. Forexample,
you maybe sentto yourtextbook orprovidedwith a linkto a website.
Reflect and Connect
Reflect and Connectprovides youwith opportunities to checkyourunderstanding ofconcepts introduced in
the lesson (Self-Check) and to make connections to prior learning andpersonal knowledge (Reflect on the Big
Picture). It also provides you with opportunities to interactwith yourpeers andyourteacherthrough
communication and collaboration (Discuss).
