Physics 10-12th Grade
Instructor: Lisa Swieson
Texts: Prentice Hall: Conceptual Physics, by Hewitt
Overview of Course:
Written for students of introductory physics, this best-selling
text offers students an upbeat, non-threatening overview of the
discipline which focuses on concepts and critical thinking
rather than number-crunching. It presents physics in a language
students can comprehend, using analogies and mental imagery
based on real world situations. Mathematical equations,
formulas, and calculations appear as a footnote on the page to
reference and supplement chapter concepts and help students see
the connection between math and science.
With this strong foundation, students are better equipped to
understand the equations and formulas of physics, and motivated
to explore the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in
each chapter.
Topics Covered:
Unit I Mechanics
Unit II Properties of Matter
Unit III Heat
Unit V Electricity and Magnetism
Unit VI Atomic and Nuclear Physics

Overview of Course:
And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God
created the great creatures of the sea and every living and
moving thing with which the water teems, according to their
kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw
that it was good. (NIV)
Come explore part of God's Creation as we look at and learn
about the world of birds. You will discover birds that you did
not even know about that migrate through or live in our area.
Using top notch binoculars we will look for birds in the park
next to school. We will also take trips to area places such as:
Tinicum Marsh, Ridley Creek State Park, Edwin B. Forsythe
National Wildlife Refuge, and Hawk Mountain. There will be some
additional cost for some of these trips.
