The material discussed in this course begins with Mechanics, which deals with motion, forces and energy. It continues with Light and Sound, then covers Electricity and Magnetism and finishes with Relativity and Nuclear Physics, time permitting. Our goal in this class is to maximize the use of the students’ personal experiences in the everyday world so that they learn to see Physics as part of everything that happens around them. In this way, the students find that they can comprehend “non-easy” material. In addition to classroom demos, text material, etc., we also have a video series by the author of the textbook that follows chapter by chapter. In this way the students have aa additional  opportunity to see demonstrations of the concepts "in action" and learn the material.

Conceptual Physics is specifically for those students who will not be majoring in a science, math, technology or related field of study in college.

If any students or parents have questions about this course or their schedules, feel free to talk with me about it or talk with your counselor.
