Online Physics Course

Course Description

Our online physics course introduces students to relationships in the natural world using mathematical models and conceptual thinking. Motion, forces, work, and energy are the major themes investigated in this course. An exploration of different types of motion including straight-line motion, circular motion and gravity, allow students to develop skills in looking at motion and movement from different perspectives. The investigation of forces looks at the causes of motion and the interactions between objects. These interactions occur because of the types of energies that occur in a system. How this energy is transferred and the efficiency of its transfer are illustrated as you analyze collisions and the influence of simple machines work. You will explore Newton’s Laws in detail during this course. Students will study different types of energy by expanding their learning about the atomic nature of matter. Other topics studied include the difference between temperature and heat and how heat is transferred. Other forms of energy including waves (mechanical, sound and light, too), electricity, magnetism and finally nuclear energy round out the topics in the second part of this course. As you study the different forms of energy the focus is on the conceptual relationships that are unique to each as well as how each of these forms of energy are present in our everyday world.
