According to the State Curriculum for Physics:
Physics deals with the relationship between matter and energy and how they interact. The following major areas will be investigated: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Waves and Sound, Light and Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, Atomic and Nuclear Physics.
Using available materials and technology, students will carry out investigations of the above areas using inquiry based learning, hands-on labatory investigations, observation of demonstrations, individual studies, and group activities. This course will afford students the opportunity to apply knowledge and prerequisite skills, habits of mind needed for problems solving and ethical decision-making about local and global scientific and technological concerns. This course will provide knowledge and experiences needed for advanced studies and personal career choices.
