⚡ Physics Course Overview

Discover How the World Works — From Motion to the Cosmos

Physics is the science that explains how and why things move, interact, and change — from everyday objects to the farthest reaches of the universe. In this comprehensive high school–level Physics course, students explore the fundamental principles that govern motion, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics, while building strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

Through a combination of hands-on projects, real-world applications, interactive labs, and conceptual reasoning, students develop a deep understanding of physics concepts and learn how to apply them to everyday life, engineering challenges, and future STEM pathways.

🔍 What Students Will Learn

Throughout the course, students will:

• Understand and analyze motion, forces, and Newton’s Laws

• Explore energy, work, power, and momentum

• Investigate waves, sound, light, and optics

• Learn how the human eye and optical instruments work

• Build and analyze electric circuits using Ohm’s Law

• Explore electricity, magnetism, generators, and transformers

• Study modern physics, including quantum mechanics and relativity

• Examine nuclear physics, cosmology, black holes, and the Big Bang

• Apply physics concepts to real-world engineering and design projects

🧠 How Students Learn

This course is designed to support multiple learning styles and emphasizes understanding over memorization. Students engage with content through:

• Clear instructional videos and guided lessons

• Practice problems with step-by-step solutions

• Interactive review games (Kahoot, Quizizz, Jeopardy-style reviews)

• Hands-on engineering projects (e.g., optics builds, real-world design challenges)

• Science Sleuth activities that promote reasoning and explanation

• Regular reviews and cumulative assessments to reinforce learning

🛠️ Projects & Real-World Applications

Students apply their learning through meaningful projects such as:

• Building optical instruments (periscopes or telescopes)

• Analyzing circuits and electrical systems
