Conceptual Physics
Through Conceptual Physics we cover main topics in the study of mechanics including forces, Newton's Laws, Projectile Motion, Uniform Circular Motion, energy and close out with topics outside of mechanics including, but not limited to sound, light, electricity and magnetism. Our conceptual approach to physics allows students to focus on understanding the basic laws of physics without being hampered by much of the complex mathematical backing that engulfs more physics courses. Our goal is to get the students conceptually proficient physics concepts to fully prepare them for the mathematical heavy university physics courses in the future.

Essential Problem(s)
In this section I will be posting the solution to an "Essential Problem(s)" from each unit. While we do a number of interesting things during class it is good to know what you must be able to do in each unit. I strongly urge all students to try the problems out first and then let the explanation check their work. At the conclusion of each unit, all students must be able to do the essential problem(s) for every unit.
