In the province of Ontario, the high school physics curriculum for Grade 12 students places a strong emphasis on providing a comprehensive and advanced understanding of fundamental physics principles. The Physics 12 course is designed to build upon the knowledge acquired in earlier grades and delve deeper into complex topics. Students explore concepts such as electromagnetism, optics, nuclear physics, and quantum mechanics. The curriculum aims to develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong foundation in physics that prepares students for post-secondary education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Practical experimentation and hands-on activities are integrated into the coursework to provide students with a practical application of theoretical concepts.
