Physics is the study of matter and energy to explain the physical universe. Physics at Oregon High School is an activity-based course which relies heavily on laboratory experience, computer technology (for data collection, analysis, and modeling), group learning, and students' existing math skills. Students will create (discover?) physical laws using the same modeling process utilized by scientists. Topics of study include mechanics, energy, and conservation laws. Over the next few years we will also be incorporating engineering projects to meet the goals of the Next Generation Science Standards.
