Course Syllabus（For Reference Only）
In this class, students participate in daily practice and exercises in solving problems, engage with our discussion, as well as explore their own ideas and interests. Eventually develop skills to learn and retain an understanding of Physics they can apply in academic and everyday endeavors.
The course aims an in-depth study of all the fundamental concepts of Physics in which students use their abilities to draw conclusions, organize knowledge, and test through experimentation as they explore the role of science in everyday life. Specifically, the course aims to: 1. ) Provide students with opportunities to connect their knowledge of Physics and other related fields to issues that have a societal or technological components (e.g., concerns, technological advances, innovations) to help them become scientifically literate citizens. 2.) Provide opportunities for students to develop, record, and maintain evidence of their verbal, written and graphic communication skills through laboratory reports, summaries of literature or scientific investigations, and oral, written, and graphic presentations.
Beyond the general knowledge acquired, the students will be applying the skills that will help them critically analyze, and understand the data and trends to apply wisely to make informed decisions.
Students will also be prepared to take the AP Physics Exam.
