Physics-Conceptual A

     Fall Semeste

This course is a comprehensive, year-long exploration of the fundamental principles of physics, designed to engage students in the study of motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and real-world applications of physical science. Students will build a deep understanding of physical phenomena through inquiry-based learning, hands-on activities, and a digital interactive notebook that serves as a portfolio/lab notebook of their work and progress.

Throughout the course, students will investigate real-world problems, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and apply mathematical models to explain and predict physical behavior. The course is aligned with Idaho State Physics Standards and prepares students for further study in STEM fields. Emphasis is placed on scientific reasoning, data analysis, lab investigation, and the engineering design process.
