Science Guide - Grade 11 Canada

Grade 11 Science (SBI3U / SCH3U / SPH3U) ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Ontario Curriculum · TDSB · Curated Video Lessons

In Grade 11, Science branches into three university-preparation courses: Biology (SBI3U), Chemistry (SCH3U), and Physics (SPH3U). This guide provides focused video lessons for all three disciplines — covering the key concepts students need to master for each course's tests, ISPs, and final exams.

Biology – SBI3U

๐Ÿงฌ Grade 11 Biology – Full Course Review

SBI3U covers five major units: diversity of living things, evolution, genetic processes, animal systems physiology, and plants (anatomy, growth, and function). This condensed 4-hour video review covers all SBI3U units — making it an efficient and comprehensive study resource before unit tests and the final exam for Grade 11 Biology.

Chemistry – SCH3U

⚗️ Grade 11 Chemistry Overview (SCH3U)

SCH3U covers organic chemistry (hydrocarbons and functional groups), chemical bonding (ionic, covalent, metallic), quantities in chemical reactions (stoichiometry and limiting reagents), solutions and solubility, and gases and atmospheric chemistry. This Ontario Virtual School introduction outlines what students will learn and master in Grade 11 Chemistry.

Physics – SPH3U

⚡ Grade 11 Physics Overview (SPH3U)

SPH3U introduces kinematics (motion equations in 1D and 2D), dynamics (Newton's Laws and forces), energy and momentum (conservation laws), waves and sound (frequency, amplitude, and resonance), and electricity and magnetism. This Ontario Virtual School overview outlines the key concepts in Grade 11 Physics and the scientific inquiry skills students will develop.

Physics – SPH3U – Waves

〰️ Sound Waves & Frequency (SPH3U)

Waves and sound is a key unit in SPH3U. This hands-on Grade 11 Physics lesson explores the properties of sound waves — frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and resonance — using simple demonstrations. It connects the physics of waves to everyday experiences like music, ultrasound imaging, and echolocation.

  • Frequency
  • Amplitude
  • Wavelength
  • Resonance
