Physics is a comprehensive fast-paced, honors study of God’s / /physical creation where we will be using laboratory exercises and projects that / /will build a mathematical and conceptual feel for physics.  In this course we will be covering topics / /such as Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Matter, Electromagnetics, / /Optics, and an introduction into Relativity and Quantum Physics.
/ /
/ / Physics is a full lecture and laboratory course, including / /testing and weekly homework assignments, that will earn 1 high school honors / /science credit.  The class meets once / /weekly for 3 hours.
/ /
/ / Laboratory exercises hone skills in deduction, reasoning, and / /problem solving, allowing the student to develop a deeper intellectual approach / /to their study of science.  Experiments, / /projects, and accompanying calculations and analysis will allow the students to / /see physics in action in their everyday lives.
/ /
/ / Pre-Requisites:  The / /study of Physics requires a solid understanding of high school math.  Students should have successfully completed / /Geometry, Algebra I, and Algebra II before attempting this class.  The student should also be enrolled in Pre-Calculus, / /as much of the problem solving will require an understanding of trigonometry.
/ /
/ / Homework:      1-1.5 / /hrs/day

Textbooks:      Bob / /Jones, Physical Science 3rd Ed. Physicsand 3rd Ed. Laboratory Manual.
