This class will teach basic physics concepts by having students build projects. Each week the students will be assigned a project and we will go over the physics behind the project. We will discuss the parameters that the students must operate within and safety concerns of each project as well as tips and materials necessary. Part of the class will also be spent analyzing the results of the previous challenge as well. Students will have a one page lab report to complete with each project. The goal of this class is to be highly interactive. Students will be encouraged to film their experiments and share them in the classroom or to share them with others during class. No previous knowledge of Physics is required. Some basic Algebra is recommended but not necessary.
