COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Physics standards emphasize an understanding of experimentation, the analysis of data, and the use of reasoning and logic to evaluate evidence. The use of mathematics, including algebra and trigonometry, is important, but conceptual understanding of physical systems remains a primary concern. Students build on basic physical science principles by exploring in depth the nature and characteristics of energy and its dynamic interaction with matter. Key areas covered in the course include force and motion, kinetic molecular energy, energy transformations, wave phenomena and the electromagnetic spectrum, light, electricity, and non-Newtonian physics. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of physics in other areas of science and technology and how physics affects our world.
Resources will include the textbook and its associated materials, power points, Brainpops, and hands-on laboratory experiences to facilitate the learning process.
Methods of assessment include class participation, chapter exams, quizzes, laboratory exercises, worksheets, notebook, and bell ringers.
CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
Students are expected to follow the rules of the school and the system according to the Code of Conduct adopted by the Washington County Schools and outlined in the student handbook.
