COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
Students enrolled in Physics advance their knowledge and understanding of concepts in previous general science courses. In this course, students examine classical mechanics while learning to calculate concepts in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and circular motion. Students explore work and energy in addition to the concepts of waves, sound, light, optics, and electromagnetism. The course concludes with an analysis of nuclear physics and a debate on quantum physics. This course requires students to use fundamental algebra and analytical skills to solve problems and analyze situations. As a prerequisite to Physics, students must have completed Algebra I and must possess basic spreadsheet, word processing, and presentation software knowledge. While the completion of Trigonometry is not required, a pre-or corequisite of Trigonometry will allow students to be better prepared for calculations involving dynamics, vectors, and kinematics.

TEACHER SERVICES
All course teachers are certified, subject-area content experts. The teacher will grade student assessments and provide detailed feedback. The course teacher is available to answer student questions via email, during scheduled office hours, or by virtual appointment. The teacher will carry out documented modifications and accommodations that are applicable to the online course. Progress monitoring and supplemental material will be provided by the teacher as needed.
AUTO-GRADED COURSE
Auto-graded courses are self-paced, multimodal, and standards-aligned. Students progress independently and are assessed frequently through weekly checkpoints and Mastery Assessments. Upon submission of assessments, students receive immediate answers and feedback and can mark the completion of work via a completion button in the learning management system. These courses allow students to work at their own pace and spend the necessary time on course content to ensure mastery.
