MATLAB / Physics II or Chemistry II
Students will continue studying oscillations and waves, sound, electricity and magnetism, and light, as well as tackling some topics in modern physics. In Grade 12, MATLAB remains integral to the the physics curriculum.
In Chemistry II, students delve deeper into topics introduced in first-year chemistry, as well as broaden their knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts of chemistry not yet covered. Students bridge foundational theory and in-depth calculations to laboratory experiences that develop their skills in critical thinking, scientific inquiry, process, evidence-based reasoning, and experimental design. Problem solving and laboratory competency are emphasized throughout the course. Chemistry II uses a first year college textbook as a key resource for guided thinking, explanations, and practice.
