CP Physics

In this class, we'll be studying many facets of physics through hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and observations. Many experiments will be student-designed and performed to test concepts learned during class. Creative solutions to standard problems are necessary and encouraged! Because clear and efficient communication is key to success in science, we will focus on writing formal lab reports all year.

​If you feel you are falling behind or need extra help (or just have a question!) PLEASE visit me after school or email me at any time - I'm available most days after school, but please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.
