Conceptual Physics is a laboratory course which will address the main topics of that course: motion, forces, light, energy, sound, electricity, etc. The curriculum will concentrate on providing students with a strong conceptual understanding of physical events. In contrast to AP Physics, with its traditionally heavy emphasis on mathematics, this course will make use of mathematical equations only to the extent necessary to guarantee understanding of the concept under study.
