Weighted Course

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. Physics is increasingly found to be the underlying study of not only the physical sciences but also the earth sciences and the biological sciences as well. This high school level physics class is designed to introduce prospective college students to their first mathematically based physics experience. Algebra I and II are prerequisites, and it is suggested that trigonometry should be at least taken concurrently. Strong emphasis is placed on solving problems. A scientific calculator is recommended. This course also involves laboratory experiences that reinforce concepts introduced during the regular class.
