This course introduces students to physical laws governing motion, heat, electricity, waves and optics. Using verbal descriptions, geometry, algebra, graphs and vectors, students model the physical world and lend structure to common sense ideas about how the physical world behaves. Sophisticated data equipment in the physics laboratory gives students quick and easy access to data allowing them to develop models describing their environment.
