Physics, 2-Semester Course (Independent Use Student License)

Description

This course invites students to feel gratitude for God’s great creations as they consider the patterns and principles upon which the universe operates.

Part 1

Learn how physics is part of many aspects of science. In this course, students will explore motion in one dimension and motion graphs. Students will also learn about force and acceleration, Newton’s Laws of Motion, momentum and conservation of momentum, and the relationship of these concepts to human safety. Explore work and power, energy in systems and the law of conservation of energy. Study thermal energy, including measurements, conduction, convection, radiation and what happens to energy that seems to disappear. Learn about energy conversion devices, thermal energy transfer and concepts about solving energy problems.

Part 2

Find out about gravitational force, electrical force and the fields associated with both. Investigate electromagnetic induction and the inverse square law. Explore the behavior of charged particles. Learn about simple harmonic motion, types of waves, wave properties, the electromagnetic spectrum and the behavior of electromagnetic waves. Discover the wave-particle duality of light, the attributes of visible light and how the human eye processes light. Understand the effects of wave energy on living things. Learn about the nature of digital information storage devices and devices used to transmit and capture information and energy.
