Physics
PREREQUISITES: Algebra & Geometry
LENGTH: 2 Trimesters (1 credit)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Physics is the study of the relationship between energy and matter. Topics include mechanics, thermodynamics, sound, light, electricity, and nuclear energy. Physics is a laboratory course that uses the language of math to describe and model the physical behavior of the universe. Students will improve their analytical thinking skills and will gain a better understanding of mathematics through its application. Students who are planning any further education or career in a science related field, engineering, math, medicine, or who simply want to improve their ability to think analytically should take Physics.
MATERIALS:
1. Textbook: Modern Physics
2. Scientific calculator
3. 3-ring binder
