• AP Physics A: 

    Course Description The content of the course includes the qualitative and quantitative interrelationships of kinematics, dynamics, conservation laws, circular and rotational motion, oscillations and waves, and Electrostatics.  The course will also prepare students for the AP Physics 1 exam. Calculus is not used. Prerequisite: MAT 111; MAT 113 or 121 recommended. Three one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory. High school prerequisites to this course are: Geometry

    Course Goal:

    Upon completion of this course, the student should have an understanding of the natural world; use appropriate scientific processes and principles in making personal decisions; engaging in public discourse and debate about matters of scientific and technological concern; and increasing their economic productivity through the use of the knowledge, understanding, and skills of the scientifically literate person in their careers.

     Course Objectives:

    The objective of this course is to help students develop problem-solving and analytic thinking skills.  The content of the course includes the qualitative and quantitative interrelationships of force and motion, simple harmonic motion, mechanical waves of sound and light will prepare students for the AP Physics (A) exam. As well as AP Physics B.
