Conceptual Physics

This course uses algebra and some trigonometry to explore fundamental topics in physics. Physics is the search to understand the force and energy interactions within and between galaxies all the way down to subatomic particles.  We endeavor to describe and explain these interactions in a variety of topics including classical mechanics, light & sound, and electricity & magnetism. While mathematics is used to explore important questions about the movement of objects in our world, calculus is not used and the course frequently covers things from a conceptual standpoint. This course is appropriate for students who prefer a less math-focused class but are still interested in understanding how and why our universe works the way it does!
