= = **Welcome to Ms. Lovelace's Physics World. ** This space will be home to assignments, reminders and homework for my classes at River East Collegiate. Please check back regularly to keep track of daily events and activities, as well as due dates and other things of note.  For any questions, comments, or concerns, please email me at  dlovelace@retsd.mb.ca .   **Physics 40S **  This course consists of four main units: Mechanics, Fields, Electric Circuits, Exploring Space and Medical Physics. It will be very important that you understand the material from 30S physics; we will  //briefly// review old material when it is needed. Unfortunately, we do not have a textbook that contains __all __ of the topics that we will encounter in the course. Therefore you should consider your textbook to be a secondary resource for the course, which will come primarily from notes and handouts during class.  <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Course Outline: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> http://dlovelace.wikispaces.com/Physics+40S+Outline <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Course Work: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> http://dlovelace.wikispaces.com/Physics+40S+Course+Work <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> **<span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Physics 30S ** <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">The students study how Physics is an integral part of society in this introductory Physics course. Students begin with a review of required skills from Grade 10 math and science, followed by Mechanics and Fields. This is followed by an exploration of the different types of waves. Students will finish the course by exploring Light. Projects, presentations, and laboratory work complement the course. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Course Outline: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> http://dlovelace.wikispaces.com/Physics+30S+Outline <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Course Work: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> http://dlovelace.wikispaces.com/Physics+30S+Course+Work <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> **<span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Topics In Science 30S ** <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> //<span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Students will feel empowered to hold and express a personal point of view on issues with a science component, which enter the arena of public debate, and perhaps to become actively involved in some of these issues (Alsop and Benoze, 2000; Beyond 2000: Science Education for the Future, 1998 12). //<span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Topics in Science may be used as a graduation requirement for science at River East Collegiate.
