Course Description
Physics I & II
Physics I & II (4571): (2 weighted high school science credits)
Physics is the study of nature – it is a living discipline, not a collection of facts. It is the science of daily existence and is something you know a great deal about. You have direct experience with the nature of forces, how things respond to those forces, the conservation of mass, energy, momentum, and some aspects of gravity. The formal study of physics should guide and clarify your understanding to build a consistent basis of fundamentals that allow you to build models for describing the physical behavior of unfamiliar or complex systems. Physics is about reasoning, making connections, and understanding what will happen in a situation, and why it happens.
