physics academic library
Physics is intended to expose students to the design and order in the world that God has created. In preceding years, students should have developed a basic understanding of the macroscopic and microscopic world of forces, motion, waves, light, and electricity. The physics course will expand upon that prior knowledge and further develop both.
The curriculum will also seek to teach the symbolic and mathematical world of formulas and symbols used in physics. The major concepts covered are kinematics, forces and motion, work and energy, sound and light waves, electricity and magnetism, and nuclear physics. |
Students at this level should show development in their ability and understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain experiments and projects that seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for the student and actively engage the student. The continued exposure of science concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the student’s skill and understanding. Physics should be preceded by Algebra I and II courses and Geometry.
SMART SCIENCE VIRTUAL LABS
Students in this honor's level Physics course will follow the labs in Smart Science online labs. Labs will be completed as shown in the Physics Academic Library of assignments.
The lab experience from Smart Science will ensure a standard base of quality and evaluation for the lab work from all students. Before starting the first lab, students should review the accompanying video for the procedures to complete a lab online in Smart Science. No equipment of supplies to be purchased. Students at this level are expected to show a clear understanding of the lab and conclusions supported by the scientific data. |
