Welcome to Advanced Physics!

Physics is an 18-week course that will discuss basic physical properties.  Throughout this course, students will be provided the knowledge to be able to envision how physics is applied to everyday life in and out of the laboratory.

This course requires students to complete several laboratory activities using common materials both cooperatively and individually.  Students work cooperatively to gather and compare experimental data and individually to analyze such data.  Physics involves mathematical calculations to solve real-life problems.  Laboratory experiments will enable students to have a better understanding of the concepts covered in class.

These are the topics covered in Advanced Physics:

Introduction, Lab Safety Practices, Significant Figures Lab Safety, Introduction To Physics

Kinematics 

Motion /Vectors 

Circular Motion and Rotational motion

Oscillations and Gravitation

Newton's laws of motion

Energy and momentum

Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics

Waves, Light, and Optics

Electricity and Magnetism
