PHYSICS

Physics by definition is the physical science which deals with matter and energy and their transformation, measurement, and mathematical relationships. Our course of study is primarily Newtonian or classical physics. Usually there is neither time nor facilities for atomic physics other than brief mention at the secondary school level. The nature of the course is sequential, so we will follow the order of the text. Skills used or developed in the beginning are used throughout the year.

Upon successful completion, Physics the student will be able to demonstrate knowledge of: Measurement and mathematical review, Motion and momentum, Newton's Laws, Projectile Motion, Energy and Wave phenomena, and Electricity.

These are a sampling careers that require physics:

Engineering, Meteorology, Astronomy, Physical Therapist, Optometry.
