AP PHYSICS C - UCONN/ECE 

This course is designed to correlate to a first semester calculus-based physics college course. Students planning to major in science, engineering, or pre-med are encouraged to take this course.  UCONN/ECE physics is an inquiry based exploration of physics concepts including Kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, torque, rotational motion and angular momentum, gravitation and circular motion, work, energy, and power, linear momentum, oscillations and waves. Students will develop 21st century skills, including problem solving, and critical thinking, which is a major emphasis of the coursework. This will be a laboratory-based class, where students will be designing and implementing their own experiments to answer physics based questions. Students are prepared for the Advanced Placement Physics C Mechanics Examination taken in May if they choose. Upon successful completion of this course, students may receive 4 college credits for UConn’s full year Physics 1401Q course.
