Physics

Physics is a full year college preparatory course designed for students with strong math skills. This course requires that students have a good understanding of Algebra and are familiar with basic Trigonometry functions. We explore force and motion theoretically, experimentally, and mathematically.   Major emphasis is placed on mechanics of motion including concepts of velocity, acceleration, forces, Newtonian Laws, momentum, friction, gravity,and projectile motion. We conduct many investigative labs, some student designed, that explore the physics of vehicles, sports, space flight, and free-fall.

Physics class is strongly recommended for those students interested in continuing their education in physical science and engineering. Successful completion of Algebra 2 (including trigonometry) or permission from both Mrs. Woodman and the geometry teacher is necessary for enrollment in the course.
