This is an engaging and highly interactive course in which students consistently perform experiments, gather and analyze data, and draw conclusions. This course covers the scientific method, waves, motion, and forces. This is the first course in a two-part Physics series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
This course uses Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
- Knowledge: Physics, Part 1
- Skill: Critical Thinking—Constructing Arguments
- Attribute: Gratitude
What You’ll Learn
- Scientific Method & Experimental Design: Learn how to ask scientific questions, design experiments, collect data, and analyze results.
- Waves & Oscillations: Explore the nature of waves, including sound and light, and understand how they propagate.
- Kinematics & Motion: Examine concepts like velocity, acceleration, displacement, and relative motion.
- Forces & Newton’s Laws: Study forces, free-body diagrams, and Newton’s laws to explain how objects move and interact.
- Credit Hours: 0.5 Hours
Notes
Students will need a scientific calculator capable of computing trigonometric functions. This course includes a lab component and uses equipment that is readily available in most homes.
