This course develops students’ understanding of the basic concepts of
physics. Students will explore these concepts with respect to motion;
mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, energy transformation,
hydraulic, and pneumatic systems; and the operation of commonly used
tools and machines. They will develop their scientific investigation
skills as they test laws of physics and solve both assigned problems and
those emerging from their investigations. Students will also consider
the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the
environment.
