Introduction:

• Pre- test, metric conversions, and an example of a model

Linear Motion with constant velocity

• How to use position and velocity in one dimensional motion. Describe these types of motions through calculations, graphs, and motion maps.

Linear Motion with accleration

• How to use position, velocity, and acceleration in one dimensional motion.  Relate this type of motion to free fall.  Describe these types of motions through calculations, graphs, and motion maps.

Vectors and Projectile Motion

• Describe motion through the use of vectors.  Find the resultant by adding or subtracting vectors.
• How to use position, velocity and acceleration in two dimensions.

Newton's Laws

• Inertia, its cause, and how it effects the motion of objects. Explain the relationship between force, acceleration and mass. Determine what makes objects move and how a force effects that motion.

Final Exam Review

Momentum

• Define momentum and relate it to inertia. Relate force and time to their effect on momentum. Explore elastic and inelastic collision and how momentum is conserved in each.

Energy

• Study the concept of energy. Students will develop an understanding of how energy is transferred to objects and the basic idea of the conservation of energy.

Circular Motion

• Explain how and why objects circulate by studying centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, centrifugal force and tangential speed.

Electrostatics

• Explore how objects can gain a charge and calculate the force of attraction or repulsion.

Electric Currents/Circuits

• Describe and calculate the interaction between current, voltage, and resistance using Ohm's Law.  Simulate simple series and parallel circuits.

Waves

• Identify the parts of a wave.  Compare longitudinal waves to transverse waves and relate them to sound and light waves.
