Course Description
This course provides a systematic introduction to the main principles of Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, that will form a foundation for college studies of other sciences, engineering and technology. This algebra, geometry, and calculus based course emphasizes several components - knowledge of the basic laws of nature, the ability to apply that knowledge to the particular phenomenon and the ability to achieve its complete experimental and theoretical explanation. Great attention is given to the connectivity between the sciences. In addition to this interdisciplinary approach, modern technology is used to increase the level of study, which includes a multimedia approach to reports and projects. The sequence of topics is traditional and relies on the College Board requirements. Theory, discussion, labs and problem solving are the major tools for the students' education.

As an advanced placement (college-level) course, this course is rigorous, and students can expect to spend a minimum of 2 hours per day (5 days per week) doing coursework. Students should be highly motivated & interested in pursuing college studies science, engineering and/or technology. Access to Excel spreadsheet is important as it is used frequently for mathematical modeling of physics problems.

There may be an additional charge for a lab kit
