Conceptual Physics

coursename = Conceptual Physics description = In Conceptual Physics students investigate the interaction of matter and energy in a variety of methods, focusing on the concepts, rather than the math, involved with these interactions. The course begins with an introduction to the scientific method and Newtonian mechanics. It then follows with thermodynamics and proceeds to electromagnetism. At the end, the students have a choice of a variety of topics including modern physics, a more intense look at mechanics focusing on rotational motion, or optics. department = Science teacher = Steven Okapal sessions = 2 prerequisites = SB note = grcode = SP offered = 20-21 opento = Sophomores requiredby = Liberal Arts
