This course stresses the fundamental principles of elementary physics for those students who inted to study the subject in college. It also offers a challenge to those who are not preparing for further study of the physical sciences,but who want an introduction to the subject. The use of data and information is stressed,not the memorization of it. Facility in mathematics is essential to sucess in physics. Approximately 3 hours of homework is assigned each week.
Student evaluation is based on quizzes,laboratory reports,homework,tests and written reports.
Students will build on their understanding of the fundamental concepts of chemistry and will apply this sophisticated understanding to the solution of advanced chemical problems. Students will pursue advanced laboratory work in chemistry and will prepare for the AP examination in chemistry.
