General Objective and Decription:The goal of Physics is to explain the Natural World in simple and precise terms. THIS PHYSICS GUIDE is designed to equip students with the basic principles of Matter and Energy.The topcs of Motion, Energy, Sound, Light and Electricity are introduced. This course will help students with many career paths, especially, those in Science, Medical Sciences and Engineering.
The student must always think and try to understand to do well in Physics. Memorization alone will not be the road through this course. This is not a Mathematics class, but we will be doing some Mathematics constantly. For most students, the Mathematics in this course will not be new, but the ways to be used will be a little bit different. The ability to connect the abstract concepts of Math with the Physical World is one of the skills the student will develop with practice. |

By following this Guide the Student should:Have acquired an awareness of how ideas and thoughts were used by the scientists to develop over time the road map to the current versions of some of the physical laws. The Student must be able to appreciate the power of the Scientific Method as a systematic process to explain and understand the physical world by the way of theories, hypotheses and predictions that are obtained through careful examination, measurement and validation of the best available evidence; always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. The student should also have an understanding of the basic laws of physics, and know when and how to apply them in a wide range of contexts including his surroundings. Finally, the student should be able to apply Mathematics as a means of expressing the laws of Physics, and explaining the variety of interrelated phenomena of nature. |
