†

Description

Physics A Standard is designed to describe the physical world using a small number of basic assumptions; concepts; and equations. The course emphasizes relating physics to the everyday world. Physics A focuses on understanding motion.The student will explore the concepts involved with motion in one- and two-dimensions; forces; work and energy; momentum and collisions; circular motion and gravitation. The students will recognize the importance of the laws of thermodynamics.Approximately 40 percent of the course involves virtual laboratory investigations. Some activities will require ordinary household items such as rulers; meter sticks; balls or marbles; string; paper; and pencils.
