Physics
The Fine Print

Course Goals

​​​​

• To provide students with a strong foundation in physics by emphasizing real-world applications and everyday phenomena rather than complex mathematics or calculus-based problem-solving.

• To help students explore key physics concepts—such as motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—through engaging, hands-on activities, interactive simulations, and inquiry-based learning.

• To provide students opportunity to investigate how physics applies to daily life, such as how seatbelts and airbags protect passengers in a car crash, how sound waves allow us to hear music, why airplanes stay in the air, how renewable energy sources power our homes, and how climate change is influenced by the laws of physics. 

• To explore cutting-edge technologies like space exploration, medical imaging, and robotics, gaining a broader appreciation for the role physics plays in shaping the world.

• To provide experiments, group discussions, and real-life case studies so that students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that go beyond the classroom.

• To encourage students to ask questions, analyze cause-and-effect relationships, and make connections between physics principles and their own experiences, thus ensuring they leave with a scientific mindset that empowers them to understand and navigate the world more effectively.​​​​
