This course offers a combination of theoretical and practical studies such as mechanics that analyze motions and forces; study of energy with applications to work and power; thermodynamics; properties of waves (light and sound); electricity and magnetism; and atomic physics leading to an understanding of the basic principles of physics. Investigations will be student designed and tested emphasizing principles of experimental design, inquiry based discovery, and scientific problem solving. Independent research is a required part of the program. IGCSE Algebra 2 must have been successfully completed or the student must take IGSCE Advanced Algebra 2 concurrently. Assessment measures will include external student examination and course evaluations by the teacher.
Prerequisites
Algebra 1; IGCSE Geometry or Geometry or concurrent enrollment in IGSCE Advanced Algebra 2
