So you plan to go to college and study physics, math, or engineering? DO THIS FIRST! This course will teach you HOW to figure out problems and how to judge whether or not your answers are reasonable. Save yourself a lot of time and trouble! This course will serve as an introduction to mechanical physics and the reasoning and problem-solving approaches utilized in physics, math and engineering disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on problem-solving approaches and on developing the student's ability to grasp the 'overall picture' of a problems in order to estimate and evaluate reasonable outcomes.
*This course may be appropriate for Gifted and Talented middle school students that meet all course prerequisites.* |
