The Honors Physics course goes beyond the in class lecture and discussion and develops skills which allow students to engage as student scientist. Using a Teaming approach, students become comfortable in the lab setting, but also transpose the lab to real life. Honors students conduct experimental projects, "just like we do in class.." to explore and learn more about how to learn in an engaging hands-on inquiry environment.

You’ll be introduced to the study of motion.
You’ll revisit the concepts you worked with in Unit 1 to explore force, which is the interaction of an object with another object.
You’ll build on your understanding of motion and force as you study more complex models of motion, such as the circular path of a satellite orbiting a planet.
You’ll learn the definitions of and relationships between energy, work, and power.
You’ll explore the relationship between force, time, and momentum and learn to use the law of conservation of momentum to analyze physical situations.
You’ll use the tools, techniques, and models you’ve learned in previous units to analyze a new type of motion: simple harmonic motion.
You’ll explore the motion of an object rotating around an axis and you’ll study torque, the measure of a force that can cause rotational motion.
