High School Physics

This online Physics course is designed as an introduction to the subject, aimed at high school students. It follows a two-semester structure, covering topics such as motion, forces, gravitation, momentum, mechanical energy, electricity, and light. The course employs empirical reasoning methods to develop mathematical models and uses a variety of descriptions, including mathematical, symbolic, graphical, and verbal. Students engage in laboratory investigations using online simulations and physical labs, working through experimental design, data collection, analysis, and model construction. The course requires a solid foundation in Algebra 1, with Geometry highly recommended.
