1 Wallingford Public Schools - HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OUTLINE Course Title: Physics Course Number: 2522 Department: Science Grade(s): Level(s): Honors Credit: 1 Course Description This course includes topics in mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics. The basic concepts of calculus will be introduced in connection with physical principles, such as acceleration and work. Students will explore concepts using a hands-on approach. Students will also be expected to apply their problems solving skills to demonstrate the mathematical relationships found in physics. (Prerequisite: Algebra 2). Required Instructional Materials Physics, Walker, (Prentice Hall) Current graphing technologies Current and sufficient laboratory instrumentation for each of the learning strands Teacher resources for selected text, internet, student secure file server space, library data base, AP supplemental software. Completion/Revision Date Approved by Board of Education on February 25, 2008 Mission Statement of the Curriculum Management Team The mission statement of the science curriculum management team is to promote scientific literacy emphasizing the process, content, and interdisciplinary nature of science. Enduring Understandings for the Course Inquiry is the integration of process skills, the application of scientific content and critical thinking to solve problems. Science is the method of observation and investigation used to understand our world. Displacement, velocity, acceleration and time are all interrelated and are the fundamental characteristics of motion. The relationship between motion, force and mass determines the work, energy, and power of a system. Circular motion, rotation, and harmonic motion depend on centripetal force. The properties of fluids are the foundation for several essential tools used in the medical field, mechanical tooling, and hydrostatic systems. Temperature and heat prescribe the activities of solids, liquids and gases in their applied states. Kinetic theory and thermodynamics show the relationship of energy transfer between one form of energy and another. Honors Physics Page 1 of 12
2 Protons and electrons are the essential particles of nature that contain electric charges. Protons and electrons are the essential ingredients that create all electric static forces. Conductors, capacitors, resistors are the most basic components of an electrical circuit. Voltage is the energy per charge. Current is the rate of flow of a charge. Resistance regulates the current. Ohm Law and Joule s law describe the relationships between voltage, current, resistance, energy and power in an electrical circuit. Magnetic fields are created by permanent magnets such as the earth or by electrical current. Electromagnetism is the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field. Wave motion describes the bending and the superposition of fluids, sound and light. Physical optics, interference and diffraction, comprise one of the two theories that describe the behavior of light. Geometric optics and ray tracing illustrate what happens to light when it is reflected off mirrors or when light passes through lenses and is bent. Particles at the micro and nano levels are quantized in nature. They can absorb and release energy and light in discreet amounts only. Fission is the nuclear reaction where large radioisotopes fracture into smaller atomic nuclei and energy is released. Fusion is the nuclear reaction of essentially hydrogen nuclei combining to make helium and other larger nuclides and energy is released. Honors Physics Page 2 of 12
