- This is an introductory Physics course with hands-on labs. The course covers classical Newtonian mechanics, rotational motion, mechanical waves & sound, periodic motion, electrostatics, circuits, and relativity. The AP® version of the class requires additional work and lab analyses beyond the ‘regular’ class.
- Textbook: All students will use Physics, BJU Press, 3rd edition. Amazon link You don't need the accompanying lab book. AP students will also use AP Classroom (you will receive a join code) and the Princeton Review AP Physics 1 Prep book. Make sure you get the 2026 edition when it becomes available. Amazon link
- Supplies: You will need safety glasses for a few of the labs. I will provide lab coats and gloves when needed.
- You will need a scientific calculator.
- You will need access to a relatively modern computer with internet connection. A computer less than 5 years old should suffice. You will need a webcam and mike to participate in the class.
