Welcome to Conceptual Physics

This Physics course is primarily taken by juniors and seniors with a basic understanding of algebra and geometry. A true mastery of the concepts of physics can be gained only through practice; therefore, students will find conceptual questions along with mathematical problems assigned throughout the lessons. Because laboratory activities are essential to any science course, students are required to complete hands on experiments. Overall, the course’s main goal is to provide the students with an appreciation of physics in the real world and to develop further their overall reasoning and problem solving skills.
