In completing this course, through various means including but not limited to collaborative learning, technology, and required software assignments, you will be able to: Recognize criteria characterizing the nature of science. Demonstrate science process skills in conducting experiments. Employ technology to collect data, analyze phenomena, and make predictions. Formulate mathematical relationships to represent experimental data. Apply fundamental principles of motion to everyday situations. Differentiate types of energy associated with identified systems. Demonstrate the relationship between voltage, currents and resistance in simple electrical circuits. Discuss and apply the basic principles of geometric optics and the wave nature of light. Compose scientific explanations for everyday events. Discuss contributions of selected physicists. Major sections covered Chapter Content 1 Interactions and Energy 2 Interactions and Forces 3 Electric Circuit Interactions 4 Interactions 5 Interactions and Systems Attendance Policy Attendance to all classs is expected. Rgular class attndanc is ncssary for succss! I will tak roll ach class priod. In ordr to b countd as th studnt must b prsnt th ntir class period. You ar “prsnt”, rsponsibl for all work and assignmnts covrd during class, including any missd assignmnts Evaluation The final grad is basd on major tsts, quizzes, daily activitis, homwork, and a final xam. The weight of the Evaluation instruments and the Letter Grade Distribution are provided below.
