Physics
GRADUATION CREDIT:
Fulfills Physical Science requirement
A—G CATEGORY:
d
OPEN TO GRADES:
11-12
PREREQUISITES:
Chemistry & Geometry; Algebra II recommended;
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Physics is a laboratory course that provides a systematic
understanding of the fundamental principles of physical
phenomena that govern chemical, biological, terrestrial and
astronomical processes. The course provides a foundation for
the intensive studies of most of the other sciences and for an
understanding of many technological applications of science.
Major areas of content include mechanics, work and energy,
wave motion, light, electromagnetism, modern atomic and
nuclear physics. Science attitudes, thinking processes, and
skills, and applications of science and technology to social
problems and personal decision making are emphasized. The
course qualifies as a laboratory science in meeting University of
California entrance requirements.
