This course includes the study of matter and energy and their interactions to metric

measure and problem solving. Topics include velocity and acceleration; Newton’s Laws of Motion; forces; conservation of energy and momentum; heat; electrostatics; electricity; magnetism; waves; sound; light; and modern physics. Laboratory investigations emphasize development of process skills and safe manipulation of lab instrumentation.
