Academic Year 2011-2012 • Grade 11 and above • Science Sequence
For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Physics
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Christe McMenomy
Starts: September 1, 2011
Ends: May 31, 2012
Monday 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM ET • Thursday 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM ET
Tuition: $450.00
There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Physics
Introduction to the principles of modern physics, including basic concepts of motion, conservation laws, kinematics and dynamics, energy, momentum, thermodynamics, optics, electrical and magnetic fields, light wave mechanics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear energy. Prerequisites
Physical science course at junior high level. Algebra covering the evaluation of functions and the quadratic equation and basic geometry must be completed prior to course. Trigonometry and precalculus math should be taken prior to enrollment or concurrently if trigonometry will be covered immediately.
Recommended background
Students should have completed a junior high school level course in physical science that covers describes the basic concepts of energy and motion, the forces of gravity, electricity, and magnetism. A thorough grounding in basic algebra is highly recommended, as the course is math-intensive.
Teacher's notes:
An additional text using computer simulations is under review and may be required. Please check textbook listings in August.
See notes on Physics - Advanced Option for information on AP Physics.
