The physics portion of the Science 10 course provides students with the essential introduction they need to understand the physical world and prepares them for further study in Physics 20 and Physics 30.

In Science 10, students explore the basics of motion, speed, velocity, acceleration, and energy. They learn how to describe motion using words, diagrams, tables, and graphs, and they begin to apply mathematical relationships to simple physical situations. This helps them develop confidence with the analytical thinking required in later physics courses.

Science 10 also introduces students to key scientific skills: gathering and interpreting data, designing experiments, identifying variables, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. These skills form the foundation of all high-school physics learning. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving tasks, students begin to recognize patterns, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and apply scientific reasoning to real-world events.
