Conceptual Physics
Description: The central theme of Conceptual Physics is the study of mass, force, and energy. Later in the course students will begin to further develop their understanding of the atomic model. Emphasis on the understanding of units and unit conversions continues. Experimental documentation and report writing continues to be built upon as well.
The course begins by providing some of the key physical laws and equations that the students will use to measure and understand the basics of physics and energy. Newton’s Laws of Motion is introduced here as are many of the equations concerning the mechanics of objects. Potential and kinetic energy are also discussed as is gravity.
The course will then expand the student’s discussions to include other ways of quantifying energy. Students will learn about thermal energy and how it is transferred. Students will study electricity and magnetism here also. The final chapters discuss the phenomena of waves, including both light and sound.
The course concludes with further discussions on the atomic model. Chemical bonds, the periodic table and many basic chemical reaction principals are discussed here.
