Description
Physics 11 offers students an opportunity to learn the fundamental concepts of physics while developing their scientific problem solving skills in our fully equipped laboratory. This class provides authentic learning experiences as our students are not only given the opportunity to engage in hands-on experimental activities, but they are also given guidance on how to effectively communicate their findings to their peers and instructor.
The following concepts will be covered in the course:
- predicting, analyzing and describing motion
- forces influencing the motion of an object
- impulse – momentum theorem and applications
- work – energy theorem and applications
- properties of waves to understand mechanical, sound and electromagnetic waves
- electric circuit analysis
