| |(Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in Alg. 2 or concurrent enrollment in Trig/PreCalc Hon) | |

| |Physics is the most basic of all the laboratory sciences. It is about the nature of basic things such as motion of objects, forces that affect their| |

| |motion, energy that create the forces, matter, heat, sound, light, and the inside of atoms. Students can gain a greater awareness of nature in | |

| |general and other sciences in particular if they have some understanding of physics. | |

|4151 |+PHYSICS ADVANCED PLACEMENT 11th, 12th |1 Year |

| |(Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in Physics, or concurrent enrollment in Trig/PreCalc Hon) | |

| |This laboratory science course will concentrate on developing an understanding of the important basic laws of physics, which include subjects such | |

| |as mechanics, energy, waves, light, optics, electricity, magnetism, and the atom. Using these laws, the student will be able to analyze relevant | |

| |problems of current interest in physics and other fields of science. Students will also prepare for the Advanced Placement exam in Physics. | |
