Prerequisite: Final grade of “B” or better in Honors or GHP College Algebra. The content of this course is highly theoretical and in depth. Areas studied are translational and rotational motion, force, momentum, energy, gravitation, waves, sound, elestatics and DC circuits. Computer-based laboratories, demonstrations, and many real-life applications are an integral part of this course. This is a first year, algebra-based course, and if taken by the student as an underclassman, will prepare the student for the Physics AP Level C offerings, which are calculus based, or Physics 2 AP. Students succeeding on the Physics 1 AP test may claim up to five college credits in Physics or some other elective. (Note that this varies by college/university.) This course will utilize a hybrid instructional format with use of both an online platform and a traditional classroom setting. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course.
