Course Description 

Welcome to Physics class! This course seeks to broaden students' horizon on a wide range of physics topics. It prepares students for introductory college physics course which provides a launching pad for careers such as Engineering, Data analysis, IT consultant and the Medical field. Physics relies heavily on theories and experimentations that are highly quantitative to support conclusions. Accordingly, a foundational knowledge of algebra is required to succeed in this course. For example, students will be required to find the slope and area under graphs. In addition to that, students should have a good handle on basic trigonometrical functions. In this course students will learn about Mechanics, States of matter, Waves and light, Electricity and magnetism and Modern physics. Moreover, students will be required to apply content knowledge to laboratory procedures, laboratory safety measures, scientific thinking and reasoning, problem solving, and project –based applications. Furthermore, students will be expected to construct and judge the validity of a logical argument, demonstrate effective oral and listening skills, use technology in a responsible manner and model productive citizenship.
