Syllabus

     Physics is the study of the physical world.  This study covers objects as large as galaxies or as small as the particles that make up atoms.  Physicists study the nature of matter and energy and seek to discover how they are related.  Through careful observation, study, and experimentation, information has been gathered and systematized, forming this body of knowledge.      The physics curriculum at Fosston High School is designed to give you a foundation in the fundamental principles of physics.  You will learn this by reading, discussing, doing problems, and making observations as we construct experiments in the lab.

Lesson plans will be available every morning and found on Google Classroom.
