Welcome mrs. meiring's physics students!
This course includes the study of
fundamental physics concepts, including the laws of motion, forces,
work and energy, electricity and magnetism, waves (including light and sound), optics, and (time
permitting) nuclear physics.
Students
will practice problem
solving, including application of math skills, in learning and
demonstrating
mastery of these concepts. These
concepts and skills will enhance the student’s ability to make sound
decisions
about issues in their lives as individuals and citizens, and will help
prepare
them for their careers after high school.
