I. Course Description
Physics is an exploratory course, where you can find answers to complex
questions. By learning to ask yourself questions, you can create a visualization
of the problem. This course is designed to prepare students for college physics.
We will use an algebraic mathematical approach to explain natural phenomena.
In addition, this course will include an intense hands-on approach to learning
and problem-solving.
III. Materials:
The student will need
a. Writing utensils – pencils and black or blue ink pen
b. Loose leaf notebook paper or a ringed binder
c. Graph paper is recommended
d. Scientific calculators
e. Students are highly encouraged to keep a digital, interactive notebook
f. Flash drives are recommended
V. Research Papers/Projects
Students can expect to be assigned a group project and individual research
paper. This will be discussed at length later in the school year. You will receive
separate handouts.
VI. Laboratory:
A principle portion of science education is based on a hands-on approach.
During the course of the year students will be engaged in various laboratory
explorations. Students will be required to keep a laboratory notebook. Laboratory
contract will be dispersed later.
Every student has the opportunity to earn a good final course grade as a result of
his/her own work and determination!!!
