Physics 1 represents a continuing effort to solve problems and interpret experience in a logical way. This first semester course encourages students to observe and relate physics principles to the world around them and investigate various physical phenomena related to forces, vectors, Newton's laws of motion, acceleration, velocity, resistance, and projectile motion. They will also learn about gravitational fields, satellite motion, special relativity, momentum, and inertia. Students will explore the world they live in through the properties of matter: elements, solids, liquids, and gases. This course includes both hands-on and virtual lab activities and projects. A graphing calculator is required.

PREREQUISITES: Students should have completed two years of Algebra prior to enrolling in this course.
