Physics
**Students hoping to join Physics for winter semester who were NOT registered for physics during fall semester MUST receive special permission to join PRIOR to registration. Please contact Kathy Becker for more information.
Physics can serve as a foundation of learning and the information can be used in your future mathematical and scientific studies as well as problem solving in other areas . In this class we will not only study the fundamental laws of motion, but we will also learn how research works and enjoy doing projects together.
You can expect to do 5 hours of homework each week in preparation for class. During class we will discuss what you have learned, practice new concepts, do lab experiments and connect everything we have done.
