Girls Only & All Genders Course;
Prerequisite - Successful completion of Algebra II;
​Full Year Course

Physics is an algebra- and trigonometry-based, introductory college-level physics course. The course is based on first-semester introductory college physics and is designed for students interested in an upper-level science course or planning to enter life science or pre-med programs in college. The goal of the course is to develop an understanding of physics through inquiry-based investigations. Students study principles of Newtonian mechanics and concepts of work, energy, and power. Underpinning these principles are foundational concepts like systems, fields, force interactions, change, and conservation. Additional supplemental topics are covered that build understanding of the primary College Board curriculum. Developing the ability to reason qualitatively and quantitatively is a principal focus. Those skills are developed through the use of modeling, graphing, diagramming, unit analysis, symbolic algebra, and data analysis. Laboratory exercises are used to enhance the investigation of each topic.
