Physics is a science course that introduces the basic concepts in describing motion and the interactions of matter and energy. The course includes lecture on theory, practical applications in both the general environment and industrial fields, laboratory investigation in support of discussed theory, and the basic analysis of data using formulas, graphing including computer based graphing, and numerical analysis. The students will write laboratory reports showing these results.  Independent problem solving, group investigations, and inquiry-based activities will be used in class activities. 

Major areas of study include Linear Motion, including Vector Mapping, Forces and Free Body Diagramming, Simple Machines, Rotational Motion, Energy: Production and Conversions of Energy, Matter: States and Properties, Electricity and Magnetism.
