Course Description
This course is designed to provide students with an overview of traditional physics and the latest, most modern research in the field today. Beginning with Newtonian mechanics, students learn that every object is acted upon by multiple and predictable forces. The course moves on to investigate the laws of thermodynamics, covering fluid mechanics and the relationships between matter and energy. The course also explores the various models used to explain and apply the universal forces of electricity and magnetism. Students learn the characteristics of waves and the basics of optics before the final set of lessons on atomic physics. Here, students review the characteristics of the atom and its elemental particles, and apply their knowledge to modern physics.
