This class fills the graduation requirement for science. The content of this course is similar to that in the regular physics class but there is less use of mathematics. The focus of this course is to explain the ideas and the concepts of physics using English not mathematics although there will be some use of math. The class should be considered by students who desire a physics course but do not intend to study science in college. Physics is recommended for college-bound students.
Physics attempts to describe the fundamental nature of the universe and how it works.
It is the foundation on which all other sciences are built, and understanding of those sciences is enhanced by the study of physics. Science and engineering majors in college require substantial understanding of physics. Students will study the laws of motion, forces, energy and work, heat and sound, light, electricity, and some modern physics like relativity and atomic theory. Physics is an experimental science, and the course emphasizes laboratory work and investigation. Prospective science or engineering majors should enroll.
