The course utilizes guided inquiry and student centered learning to foster the development of critical thinking skills. Students will explore six content areas: kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy and power, systems of particles and linear momentum, circular motion and rotation, and oscillation and gravitation. The students will study the basic laws of each area and apply them conceptually and mathematically.
