Course Description At the start of the course we will finish our investigation of electricity with a final unit on alternating current electricity.

Now that we have investigated the basic kinds of forces and energies present in nature, we will apply these studies to the properties of various forms of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and learn more about the statics and dynamics of these materials, particularly in the manner that energies are converted from heat to motion and back. Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes

1. Students will apply past experience to new problems, attempting to solve problems and do proofs with more independence than before.

2. Students will take more responsibility for organizing and presenting laboratory results. 3. Students will use new information to think creatively, both for problem solving and analysis of the physical world.
