Physics Year Long

Welcome to Physics!

Physics is a hands-on, fun laboratory course, introducing students to the amazing world of matter, energy, and their interactions.

Physics is filled with incredible, dynamic, and wonderful things to be discovered. Crash, explode, halt, whirl, zap, speed, amplify, and illuminate, are verbs we use in the world of Physics.

We will study motion, energy, electricity, optics and sound. Students will learn what moves (and doesn’t) in our universe and beyond. They will learn how to predict what matter and energy will do, and why. To help students learn, labs will be incorporated into each unit and math will be used to calculate and describe behavior. Students will need to use their past scientific knowledge to solve problems, analyze and apply scientific data, design experiments, use computers to monitor progress, and present scientific concepts in a public forum.
