Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra II (Offered every other year. Will be offered 2021-2022 school year).

Course Description: This full-year course is a faster-paced and more in-depth study of physics, including mechanics (forces, energy, and motion), circular motion, waves, and electricity. The emphasis in this class is on developing physical principles through laboratory activities and applying these principles and mathematical models to solve problems. The curriculum is intended to prepare students to take the AP Physics 1 exam, if they so choose. A successful grade on this exam may allow colleges to award credit to incoming freshman for the first semester of algebra-based physics.
