The basic principles of physics are the foundation of most other sciences and of technological applications of science, specifically the foundation for all types of engineering. Physics is also a part of our culture and has had enormous impact on technological developments. Many issues of public concern, such as nuclear power, national defense, pollution and space exploration, involve physical principles that require some understanding for informed discussion of the issues. Comprehending physics is important for a rational, enlightened citizenry to participate responsibly in decisions on public policy regarding complex technological issues. Course Description Advanced Placement Physics C is qualitatively and quantitatively different from the Lab Physics or Lab Physics (H) courses. In this course, advanced level topics will be explored as well as the review of the fundamental topics but will be covered in greater depth and detail. Major conceptual areas to be covered include calculus-based kinematics, dynamics including work, energy, momentum, rotational dynamics, magnetism, and electromagnetic theory, electric and electrical potential fields, and circuits. Concepts and skills are introduced, refined and reinforced in a student centered, inquiry based learning environment. Laboratory experiences are central to developing ideas and the scientific process. Problem- solving and technical reading are two of the outside activities required for the successful development of these topics. Computers as well as PASCO Equipment and specialized software are emphasized for their value as research and investigative tools. Advanced Placement Physics C is intended for students of exceptional ability who are serious about broadening their understanding of the physical world. This course will provide excellent preparation for continued study of science at the college level and will fully prepare students for the Advanced Placement Physics C exam. SPECIAL NOTE This course is one part of a two-year sequence covering all of the Physics C Curriculum, most of the Physics B curriculum as well as other topics in physics (such as Special Relativity and Quantum Physics) normally left out of the typical high school program. All students in this program are REQUIRED to take both courses as a part of the learning center program.
