PHYSICS 

Physics explains nature through a set of physical laws. These laws can explain various colors of the rainbow, the physics of sports, the way a musical instrument works and the way nuclear reactions take place. Students will be better able to answer the difficult questions that technology poses to our society. In this course, students will utilize problem solving and critical thinking skills in both classroom and laboratory settings. Topics will be studied by investigating various phenomena and incorporating the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts from the Next Generation Science Standards along with an emphasis on modeling.
