 In this class, you'll learn about major topics in physics, such as motion, forces, energy circuits, and waves. You'll also design experiments, collaborate with others, analyze your results, and communicate your understanding. This is a student-centered class. You will be active participants, collecting and reporting data. You'll use your own observations to drive your understanding of the course material, and will actively discuss the experiments and physics concepts. And yes, you will get to play with the physics toys. You'll be engaged in hands-on activities, and will flex your brain to develop your own understanding of the material. You'll work on projects to apply your physics in the real world. You can expect daily collaboration with your classmates, working together on day-to-day activities and long-term projects. I will not be a talking head just telling you about physics. You can expect to be an active participant and hands-on learner, collaborator and scientist. You'll also sharpen your communication skills by explaining what you learned to others outside of our class. A fundamental tenet of science is being willing to admit what you don't know. Have fun and be open to questioning assumptions and learning new ideas.
