The chapters in this textbook, developed by Ontario teachers to provide support for the Ontario Physics 11 curriculum, provide support for the Heat and Properties of Waves outcomes, but do not support the Foundations of Chemistry outcomes. Each unit is framed around big ideas and is introduced with a focus on STSE (Science-Technology-Society-Environment). Each chapter incorporates mini-investigations, career links, learning tips, web links, tutorials, questions, and ideas for further research. Each unit concludes with major investigations, a summary, self-quiz and review. The visually appealing textbook integrates relevant graphics and tables throughout. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives, or ways of knowing.--Ministry of Education website.
