16 live meetings
14 hrs 40 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Homework is offered every week but it is optional. The homework will consist of worksheets, short essays, and labs. If the homework is completed and submitted to me then I will grade it and offer feedback. If a letter grade or number grade is requested then it will be assigned to the work otherwise the student will receive feedback on what was done well and what needs to be worked on.Assessment
Students will receive formative assessments throughout the 16 week class.They are optional and they are done as take home assignments. At the end of the 16 weeks students will receive a summative semester exam. Any student wishing to receive a grade for the class must complete the semester exam.Grading
Grades are optional. Students may take the class for either no grade, a pass or fail grade or a letter grade. Grades are calculated as shown below… Attendance 15% Participation 15% Homework 20% Semester exam 50% All students who desire a letter grade must complete the semester exam to receive a letter grade. Letter grades will be given in the form of a report card. If a different method of grading is desired that can be discussed as well.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
In this class students will learn the basics of high school physics by looking at real life examples and examples from their favorite books, movies and television shows. The class is highly interactive and students are encouraged to ask questions. Students will practice solving equations and reflecting on what they have learned. Students will also participate in a review game at the end of every class. No prior knowledge of physics is necessary but some knowledge of basic algebra is needed. Week 1 - Periodic Motion Students will build and test a pendulum Week 2 - Waves -Wavelength, Frequency, and Speed Students will make waves and measure them Week 3 - Sound, Students will investigate the nature of sound Week 4 - Doppler Effect, Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, Absorption Students will investigate sound waves and how they interact Week 5 - Electromagnetic Waves and Radiation, The Electromagnetic Spectrum Students will complete the wave town Week 6 - Speed of Light Students will calculate the speed of light Week 7 - Visible Light, Colors and Optical Illusions Students will see how light interacts and how it is different than pigment Week 8 - Reflection and Refraction Students will learn how light interacts with objects Week 9 - Lenses and Lasers Students will learn how lasers and lenses work Week 10 - Einstein and Special Relativity Students will calculate relativistic changes Week 11 - Einstein and General Relativity Students will explore gravitational waves Week 12 - Heat and Temperature Students will differentiate between heat and temperature Week 13 - Laws of Thermodynamics Students will explore entropy and the laws of thermodynamics Week 14 - Electricity and magnetism Students will differentiate between static electricity and current and compare to magnetism Week 15 - Electricity and Circuits Students will create series and parallel circuits and calculate voltage, current and resistance Week 16 -Final exam and wrap up of any questions
