This course introduces students to concepts in physics through hands-on activities and experiments. Additionally, students are taught the important and powerful role of mathematics in the study of physics. Topics are taken mainly from classical mechanics, but may also include electricity and magnetism, optics, astronomy, and other branches of physics. Throughout the course, students are shown how physics helps explain the world around us, and they are given the historical context of the field’s development. Students are taught how to approach problems like a scientist and design their own experiments. The course may also include a visit to the Stanford Linear Accelerator or other laboratories on the Stanford campus. |
