Introduction To Physics (Year Long: Grades 10-12)
Class Available After September 15-This Class Is Currently Being Created Summer 2024.
Grade level: This course is for high school students only. Middle schoolers will need to take Physical Science first. It is highly recommended that students take Biology and Algebra 2 before registering. Physics is normally taken the senior year at the same time as Pre-Calculus.
Students will log into GC each week for a lesson and 4-5 assignments. Assignments can be reading sections, notecards to create, practice vocabulary exercises, lab activities, and assessments.
Length: Full year course broken up into two semesters.
Curriculum: All curriculum resources needed will be provided via pdf from Glencoe, MacMillan, and Lumen Learning. The class will also use the following online website resources: Quizizz, Quizlet, Nearpod, CK 12, and GVS.
