Course Description: Physics CP/Honors
​
This course familiarizes students with fundamental principles of physics and their applications. The course includes topics on mechanics, electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, optics, sound and an introduction to quantum physics. Math, graphing, and problem-solving skills will comprise the basis of instruction. Students enrolled in the honors course will be required to work with more intensity, at a deeper level, and produce a wider range of more complex material.
​
