Physics for High School

"Physics for High School" is a one-credit full-year course, held live on Mondays from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm Central Time, instructed by Laura Nolette. It is designed for high school juniors and seniors, requiring Algebra I and Geometry as prerequisites. The course explores physics concepts such as scientific laws, motion, energy, waves, optics, electrostatics, and magnetism, incorporating the history of science. It combines interactive online classes, hands-on activities, videos, reading, problem-solving, and labs. Students are expected to participate fully, complete weekly homework, and take quizzes, tests, and exams. Grades are based on class participation, homework completion, and mastery of material.

The syllabus covers numbers in physics, motion (one and two-dimensional), Newton's laws, uniform circular motion, work and energy, waves, optics, electrostatics, electric circuits, and magnetism, with projects like the Trebuchet Angry Bird and rollercoaster championship incorporated along the way.
