In this course, students are immersed in the works of scientific geniuses who have transformed our understanding of the matter, the forces and the energy in the universe. Starting with how matter interacts and moves, students learn that all motion can be effectively described, analyzed, and predicted. Then students explore the causes of changing motion and forces. Energy is a fundamental property that is essential for human existence, and physics takes students through all its forms: electricity, light, sound, heat, and more. Discover how waves travel and interact with both matter and the smallest particles in the universe. Ranging from tiny atoms to vast galaxies containing millions of stars, the universal laws of physics are illustrated through real-world examples. Through laboratory activities, simulations, and graphical analysis, along with rigorous mathematical efforts and problem-solving, students follow in the footsteps of some of the world's greatest thinkers and learn to perceive and understand the world in a unique way.
Topics and Concepts
Topics and Concepts
The founding of the United States began as a groundbreaking experiment in freedom and democracy. Since its establishment, the country and its citizens have endured social, political, and economic revolutions. In this course, students will investigate the people, events, and ideas that have shaped the United States from the end of the Civil War to the present day. Students are asked to analyze and evaluate decisions made by political, business, and military leaders. Emphasis is placed on connections between events of the past and the present. This course also gives students the opportunity to conduct research and apply what they have learned to current real-world problems.
"Responsible citizenship which includes civil and political participation—is essential for maintaining a government that truly represents 'We the People.'In this course, students examine the principles that inspired the Constitution and the other founding documents of the United States.
They study how these principles form the foundation of the U.S. federal government and distinguish the U.S. federal government from those of other nations. They then examine the structures and functions of government to see how those principles are implemented in practice each day. This includes how the levels of government interact with one another. Finally, students apply these concepts to understand the role of the individual within U.S. civil society. They explore protections and limitations on individual rights protected through the Bill of Rights and acts of government over time. Students examine how, as individuals and as part of groups, citizens can influence public policy and help ensure the vitality of the constitutional republic.
