There will be a total of 12 units. The first semester, we will be studying measurements and graphing, Newtonian mechanics, and Universal Gravitation. A midterm will be given for the first semester content. The second semester will consist of, electricity, magnetism, waves, and optics. A final will be given at the end of the second semester for all content being covered in the second semester. Each section will contain a set of notes with various laboratory experiments, and quizzes and tests. It is the student's responsibility to study outside of the class as the units build upon each other. A tentative schedule will be provided as each unit begins. This is subject to change if needed more time or days off of school interfere with planning.
This course is heavily involved with math. We will be incorporating geometry and algebra to solve word problems. If you do not recall these fundamental skills, it is your responsibility to relearn those skills. I will also be incorporating past classes such as chemistry into the content as these two courses intertwine. You are responsible to recall material from previous science courses. When you finish this course, you will have developed application skills. My goal for you is that you take these skills and use them elsewhere.
If you turn in a laboratory report after the unit test or any of the material for that matter, you may be given up to 50% for your lab grade.
