Physics
This fundamental scientific discipline systematically explores matter, energy, and their foundational interactions through mathematical laws governing our physical world. The comprehensive course builds from core classical mechanics to introducing modern quantum theory. This exploration helps students describe and analyze motion, understand how forces interact, and apply concepts of energy and momentum to real-world scenarios.
Key Topics
- Fundamentals of Motion, Forces, and Energy
- Thermodynamics (The Physics of Heat)
- Waves and Wave Theory (Light and Optics)
- Electricity and Magnetism
- Electromagnetism and Circuits
- Introduction to Quantum Theory
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, students will be able to accurately describe and mathematically analyze linear and curved motion, and utilize concepts of energy, work, and momentum. They will understand the behavior of waves, investigate electromagnetic radiation, explore electric charges, and discover the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Grade Level
- High School (Grades 9–12)
Audience
Students who need a foundation in physical science, students planning to pursue engineering, physical science, or mathematics in college, and students seeking to understand the mathematical laws governing the physical world.
