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. This site is a tool to provide:
