Course ID: 282
In this physical science course, students will learn about the knowledge of nature and how mathematical formulas can be applied to the universe. Topics that will be covered include one and two dimensional motion, forces, energy, momentum, electricity, magnetism, light and sound waves, and nuclear physics. Students will learn how to approach problems from both an analytical and mathematical background. A good foundation in algebra and trigonometry is necessary in order to be successful in the course. The class meets daily with an extra period every other day for laboratory work. Students will take the Regents Physics examination in June and must complete the required 1200 lab minutes in order to sit for the exam. Recommended for 11th and 12th graders that have completed Regents Chemistry at a satisfactory level.
