Will my data analysis from experimentation be enough to prolong Barbie's 'life'?! |
Prerequisites for Physics: Geometry, Algebra II and Trigonometry. This course examines the laws that govern the physical world. Topics covered include force, motion, energy, vectors, gravity, momentum, wave motion, light, sound, electricity and magnetism. Students explore the equations that describe physical laws through experimentation and data analysis. Technology such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Movie Maker and others will be used in the analysis and communication of data. Projects such as building mousetrap powered cars, amusement park rides and model rockets are an integral part of the course. Physics will focus on the following:
