Physics I (194301)
|
|
Course Description
|
Physics I meets the Maryland State Content Standards for Physics.
This course is designed for college-bound students. Students will be
provided with a basic understanding of the main topics of classical and modern
physics and their impact on society. Topics covered include: the application of
the laws of mechanics to explain the behavior of the physical world;
demonstration of how vibrations and waves provide a model for our understanding
of various physical phenomena; application of the laws of electricity and
magnetism and their significant role in nature and technology; and discussion of
the limitations of classical physics to the development of modern physics
theories. Students will be required to use graphing techniques, algebra, and
trigonometry in problem-solving applications. Students will be exposed to
technologies such as computer simulations, use of graphing calculators, and
circuit boards. Laboratory experiences are an integral part of this curriculum
required to promote deeper understanding of these concepts.
Prerequisite:
Algebra II
Co-requisite:
Pre-calculus
Grades 10 - 12

Physics II (194121)
|
|
Course Description
|
This course is a single semester, second-year course in physics, designed to
extend the concepts of motion, force and energy covered in Physics I, stressing
mathematical analysis. This course is designed for college-bound students and
will be loosely based around the noncalculus Advanced Placement Physics "B"
curriculum with an emphasis on modern physics. Students will be required to use
graphing techniques, algebra, and trigonometry in problem-solving applications.
Students will be exposed to technologies such as computer simulations, use of
graphing calculators, and circuit boards. Laboratory experiences are an integral
part of this curriculum and are required to promote deeper understanding of
physics concepts.
Prerequisite:
Physics I or Algebra-Based Physics
Co-requisite:
Pre-calculus
Grades 10 - 12
