Welcome to Regents Physics!

Course Description:

We will be using a textbook called Holt Physics. The textbook has a rich bank of physics content and plenty of examples to help make that content relevant to daily life. In addition, the book clearly outlines lesson objectives and vocabulary. By mastering these concepts and terms, students will gain a solid base in physics and will be well prepared for college physics courses. Your child will also have many opportunities to reinforce, extend, and apply what he or she learns with fun and meaningful investigations and activities. And you can rest assured that this program meets our state and national standards for physics!

The goal is to create a classroom environment that will help physics students

·         build a solid physics vocabulary

·         gain a strong understanding of key scientific principles and topics

·         learn how to use mathematics to tackle scientific problems

·         find out about the latest technologies and use many of them to learn more about physics and our world

·         see how physics is related to all other disciplines

·         effectively prepare for standardized assessments

·         see physics as worthwhile and meaningful

·         develop thinking skills and the ability to challenge assumptions, think creatively, and solve real-life problems

·         and most of all, have fun!!
