Physics

Full Description

Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory physics course. Students will cultivate an understanding of physics through class discussion, in-class activity, and virtual, inquiry-based laboratory simulations as they explore concepts such as motion, forces, energy, momentum, heat and heat transfer, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. The course has a strong focus on inquiry, model building and experimental methods. Additionally, while the primary focus of this course is physics principles and phenomena, a cursory knowledge of Algebra 1 is needed to ensure fluency in problem solving.
