1To ensure a thorough and comprehensibletreatment of all content and processexpectations in the SPH4U curriculum
• Complex physics concepts are presented in a clear,understandable fashion
• Important concepts, such as static equilibrium, are treated ingreater depth than specified in the curriculum
2To equip students with the independentlearning, problem solving and research skillsessential for success in post-secondary studies
• Self-contained and self-explanatory lessons
• A variety of self-evaluation and self-checking strategies
• A mature design similar to what students will experience withfirst year university/college texts
• The placement of lab activities at the end of chaptersparallels the formal separation of theory and labs in universitycourses
• Extension and web link strategies provide opportunities tohone individual research and study skills
3To acknowledge the science background andlevel of preparation of students entering thisnew course
• A wealth of diagnostic activities
• Regular practice, assessment, and remediation opportunities
• Grade 11 skills reviewed next to its Grade 12 counterpart
• University of Waterloo Sir Isaac Newton (S.I.N.) contestquestions provide an extended analysis of new concepts
4To support busy teachers with theimplementation and administration of thisnew curriculum
• Student lessons accommodate independent learning
• A comprehensive array of planning and assessment toolsreduce lesson preparation time
• Access to a variety of different instructional approaches
