This course provides learners who have not taken PHYS 12 with a general introduction to Classical Physics. The topics surveyed in this course include vectors, Newtonian Mechanics, properties of materials, thermodynamics and special theory of relativity. The course will introduce learners to First Peoples ways of knowing, being, doing, and seeing related to various fundamental concepts in Physics. The various physical laws, for example, Newton's universal law of gravity and conservation of mass, energy and momentum, will be discussed using the principles of calculus. However, problems and exams will not require calculus for their solutions.
