PREV VERSION - [SC] Physical Science B: Extended Campus (SM)
This semester introduces students to the world of physics. Students start by discovering what it means to be scientific. By looking at the ways scientists think, communicate, and do their jobs, students form a strong foundation for learning the sciences. Next, the course covers important aspects of motion and force, including the motion of fluids and Newton’s laws. Building up from these beginnings, students explore thermodynamics, energy, work, and machines. Next is the nature and properties of waves, followed by electricity and magnetism. Alongside their exploration of the scientific method, students work on a course project that introduces them to the field of engineering.
