Physics is the study of the motion of objects and energy. The Honors Physics course at Temecula Preparatory School is a rigorous laboratory-based, college preparatory science course. It utilizes a combination of laboratories, activities, discussions, technology, lectures, demonstrations and other visual aids to give students a solid background in a broad representation of physics topics. The topics covered in this course are consistent with the California State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards and include: Motion, Force, Momentum, Energy, Gravity, Circular Motion, Waves, Electricity, Magnetism, Thermodynamics, and Optics. The course fulfills the physical science requirement for high school graduation and is an A through G laboratory science course recommended for admission to the University of California.
Prerequisites: Algebra I and Geometry with grades of B- or better. Prior or concurrent enrollment in Chemistry is highly recommended.
