Couse Outline: The purpose of the two year IB mathematics standard level course is to explore relationships among calculus, trigonometry, statistics, geometry, and functions in various contexts—physics, biology, business, technology, social science, the arts, and more—and to represent those relationships with symbols, graphs, tables, and words; then to use those representations to solve problems, identify patterns, and explore other relationships. This course is designed to produce roadblocks along the way; these roadblocks can be challenging and painful at times, but the goal is to solve them and move forward in our quest to become lifelong learners. To be life-long learners you need to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, model with mathematics, use appropriate tools strategically, attend to precision, look for and make use of structure, and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. This course will be taught with a focus on student inquiry. You will spend time generating mathematical questions and pursuing their answers. Class time will be spent in the following activities:

- Guided investigation - Group and class discussion - Teacher presentations - Student presentations - Application of skills

It is expected that extensive use will be made of technology in both the development and the application of this topic, rather than elaborate analytical techniques. On examination papers, questions may be set requiring the graphing of functions that do not explicitly appear on the syllabus, and students may need to choose the appropriate viewing window. For those functions explicitly mentioned, questions may also be set on composition of these functions with the linear function y=ax+b.

Course Outline “She said she loved me, and I didn’t believe it for a minute. Maybe 59 seconds, but not a whole minute. I may be gullible, but I’m not without an accurate way to measure time.” ― Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not FOR SALE This regular high school physics course introduces students to measurements and significant figures, motion in one and two dimensions, forces and laws of motion, work and energy, momentum and collision, heat and temperature. The course will reinforce skills like performing experimental activities, using accurate scientific vocabulary, and conducting documentary research. Course Learning Outcomes:

§ Students will know how to solve problems that involve constant speed and average speed.

§ Students will know that when forces are balanced, no acceleration occurs; thus an object continues to move at a constant speed or stays at rest (Newton's first law).

§ Students will know how to apply the law F=ma to solve one-dimensional motion problems that involve constant forces (Newton's second law).

§ Students will know that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).

§ Students will know how to resolve two-dimensional vectors into their components and calculate the magnitude and direction of a vector from its components.

§ Students will know how to solve two-dimensional problems involving balanced forces (statics).

§ Students will know how to calculate kinetic energy by using the formula E=(1/2)mv2. § Students will know how to calculate changes in gravitational potential energy near

Earth by using the formula (change in potential energy) =mgh (h is the change in the elevation).

32

§ Students will know how to solve problems involving conservation of energy in simple systems, such as falling objects.

§ Students will know how to calculate momentum as the product mv. § Students will know momentum is a separately conserved quantity different from

energy. § Students will know an unbalanced force on an object produces a change in its

momentum. § Students will know how to solve problems involving elastic and inelastic collisions in

one dimension by using the principles of conservation of momentum and energy. § Students will know the internal energy of an object includes the energy of random

motion of the object's atoms and molecules, often referred to as thermal energy. The greater the temperature of the object, the greater the energy of motion of the atoms and molecules that make up the object.
