Honors Physics
Physics is the first science course for all freshmen at Clayton High School. The Honors Physics course is designed for students with accelerated reasoning and student skills. Students are expected to have well developed study skills and tenacity in the pursuit of understanding.
The Honors Physics course focuses upon the fundamental principles in the following areas:
• Uniform Motion
• Uniformly Accelerated Motion
• Forces
• Energy
• Uniform Circular Motion
• Electrostatics
• Electric Circuits
• Simple Harmonic Motion
