Welcome to Advanced Physics!

Advanced Physics is a dynamic, rigorous course in physics principles and concepts.  We will explore our physical world and how the key players in it interact with each other as we master the central topics of mechanics, energy relations, conservation laws, and wave theory.  This will be accomplished by providing students with an environment that allows them to learn physics by doing physics!  Advanced Physics is an activity-driven, project-based learning course that requires students to work independently and cooperatively to construct knowledge and apply the concepts and principles of the course.  The language of physics is mathematics.  Therefore, Advanced Physics students will apply algebra and trigonometry to the basic concepts identified and developed in this course.  In addition, we will use technology extensively for research, data collection and analysis, communication, and testing. 

Celebrate Success!

This will be YOU.
