Physics

Physics 1A
As students progress through Physics 1A, they will learn to explain, according to the laws of physics, the events that occur in the world around them. Using text, graphics, and interactive simulations, students will investigate straight-line motion, motion in two dimensions, energy, relativity, properties of matter, change of state, heat, and temperature.
Scope and Sequence

Physics 1B
In the second semester of this introductory Physics course, students will continue to learn about familiar situations from the perspective of physics. Using text, graphics, and interactive simulations, they will investigate wave motion, sound, light, reflection and refraction, color, magnetism, electricity, and nuclear physics.
