Course description

We stand on the shoulders of giants. Whether by observation; experimentation or brilliant insight; the progress of physics through the centuries has been advanced by scientific geniuses who wanted to know how things work. You?ll find out for yourself when you take this course and visit ?Physics World.? In each ?Physics World? module; you?ll discover the contributions of geniuses like Galileo; Newton and Einstein. In their work; you?ll learn the concepts; theories and laws that govern the interaction of matter; energy and forces. From tiny atoms to galaxies with millions of stars; the universal laws of physics are there for you to observe and apply. Using laboratory activities; videos; software; and websites; you?ll follow in the footsteps of some of the world?s greatest thinkers.

Hours per week for lab: Students will work an average of 1-2 hours per week on laboratory activities.
