The Physics course covers topics in classical physics including Motion in One and Two Dimensions, Forces, Mechanical Energy, Momentum, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, Circuits, Magnetism, Waves, Sound and Optics. The Physics course is grounded Inquiry Labs and Application of Knowledge. The labs will serve as a means to learn and explore the content . Students will engage in content building and assessments through inquiry labs, discussions and projects. There is not a formal lab block, however lab experiments and demonstrations will be integrated throughout the course. Algebra I skills are necessary for basic calculations of what governs the motion and physical interaction of bodies in nature.
