This is a year long course with Semester A and B lasting 15 weeks each.
Students explore principles of Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory simple circuits. The course is based on six Big Ideas, which encompass core scientific principles, theories, and processes that cut across traditional boundaries and provide a broad way of thinking about the physical world.The following are Big Ideas:
* Objects and systems have properties such as mass and charge. Systems may have internal structure.
* Fields existing in space can be used to explain interactions.
* The interactions of an object with other objects can be described by forces.
* Changes that occur as a result of interactions are constrained by conservation laws.
* Waves can transfer energy and momentum from one location to another without the permanent transfer of mass and serve as a mathematical model for the description of other phenomena.
Throughout the course, students are introduced to the processes of scientific investigation, the common properties, forms and changes in matter and energy and to the interrelationship between science, technology and human activity. Application of their knowledge to laboratory investigations and analysis of real world situations supports student understanding of essential concepts.
