CAHS

Course Description
This course is a standards-based study of fundamental physics concepts, such as
measurement, calculation, and graphing in kinematics and dynamics, propagation
and conservation of energy and momentum, gravitation and orbital mechanics,
waves, optics, and electromagnetic phenomena. Emphasis is placed on the
utilization of mathematics, analytics, data acquisition, graphical, and
communication skills. Concepts and skills are reinforced by hands-on laboratory
eperiences and the integration of other branches of science. !pplications to
society, individuals, and the utilization of technology are included. "hysics ful#lls
one year of the high school science graduation requirement.
