Adult Basic Ed.-Physics
BPHY 036 - ABE Intermediate Physics
1.00 credits
(1.5,0,1.5)
15 wks
This is an intermediate course in physics. Students will solve problems using System International (SI) units and will convert between units of the same dimension, employ the concept of force and the use of free body diagrams to determine if an object has an unbalanced force acting upon it, and solve problems involving motion.
BPHY 043 - ABE Advanced Physics I
1.00 credits
(1.5,0,1.5)
15 wks
Students will learn the safe use and limitations of basic laboratory equipment. The concepts of forces, momentum and energy will be explored. Motion in two dimensions will be studied. Includes laboratory investigations.
Prerequisites: BPHY 036, or completion of the Adult Basic Education Math Assessment Test and Science 10 with a minimum grade of B and the Adult Basic Education Science Reading Comprehension Test
BPHY 044 - ABE Advanced Physics II
1.00 credits
(1.5,0,1.5)
15 wks
This is a continuation of BPHY 043. Students will explore concepts in electrostatics, analysis of electrical circuits, waves and sound, optics and thermodynamics.
Prerequisites: BPHY 043
BPHY 053 - ABE Provincial Physics I
1.00 credits
(1.5,0,1.5)
