In Physics, students conduct laboratory and field investigations,use scientific methods during investigations, and make informeddecisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving.Students study a variety of topics that include: laws of motion;changes within physical systems and conversion of energyand momentum; forces; thermodynamics; characteristics andbehavior of waves; and atomic, nuclear, and quantum physics.Students who successfully complete Physics will acquirefactual knowledge within a conceptual framework, practiceexperimental design and interpretation, work collaborativelywith colleagues, and develop critical thinking skills.
Requested competency code:
- Lab Science
In order to be reviewed as a laboratory science, we will need a list of physical laboratory experiments completed for this course and number of hours students spend doing laboratory assignments each week.
