SPH4U1    Physics 2.
This is a high school physics course (grade 12) based on the 'new curriculum' in Ontario. It seems to be a typical second physics course.

The textbook that we use is "Physics", 4th edition, by Giancoli.
(and one chapter in "Nelson Physics 12", by A. Hirsch et al.)
 

Please note the following:

  1. Any errors are mine and do not reflect on my school board.
  2. Each lesson is essentially one day's class.
  3. The lessons are all in Microsoft Word 97. I have given up trying to put the lessons into HTML. It is too hard to edit them as I think of ways to improve things, add formulas etc. Formatting is also easier in Word.
  4. The lessons are not 100% complete or perfect. There are things that I would like to add and improve when I have time. I will be making changes fairly often.
