Physics (CP)

Course: 342
Credit 1.0

Prerequisites: Chemistry, Algebra II/Algebra II Honors/Geometry/Geometry Honors

This course is designed to meet the requirements of the Next Generation Science Standards. The disciplinary core ideas of forces and motion, types of interactions, energy and forces, wave properties, electromagnetic radiation, information technologies and instrumentation, and engineering design are integrated with extensive mathematical applications to bring relative units of study to the student. The science practices of asking questions, developing and using models, planning and carrying out investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematics and computational thinking, constructing explanations, argument from evidence, and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information are utilized throughout the year.
