Physics is a college prep course designed to introduce students to the basic principles and quantitative relationships governing matter and energy and their everyday applications in life. A major part of this course is laboratory work, both conceptual and quantitative. The experiments involve verification of scientific principles and/or the drawing of conclusions with emphasis on application to ordinary phenomena. This course provides students with the background needed to succeed in the physics or physical science courses required in most college programs.
