Physical Science (PHY)
This course is designed to introduce the non-science student to the nature of physical reality and the physical laws, which govern the universe. Contemporary applications in physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy will be discussed as well as new frontiers in scientific thought. A laboratory will introduce students to the use of the scientific method by combining experiments, observations, measurements and analysis. Offered as needed.
This course is an introduction to the underlying principles of physics that govern behavior in the physical world. The topics of mechanics, heat, and waves will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on applications and problem solving. Offered as needed.
This course is a continuation of Principles of Physics I. The topics of electricity, magnetism, light, optics, and modern physics will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on applications and problem solving. Offered as needed.
