Why Are There 3 Teachers? Learning Specialist Mrs. Haas 23 rd year teaching; 6 th year at RHS Content Specialist: Mrs. Correia 7 th year teaching Student Teacher: Mr. Slemmon

Why Are There 3 Teachers? When ing… Please cc both Correia & Haas on your s, and encourage your students to do the same. Oftentimes, we will forward to each other, and the other will reply, or vice versa – don’t be offended – we are a team Mr. Slemmon can be reached by ing either of us – we will forward along to him!

Why Physics First? Physics is the base science. Physics is the base science.

Course Purpose: To Encourage Questions, Promote Critical Thinking, and Encourage Self-Advocacy : The goal of this course is to encourage students to think critically about their surrounding world and environment. We want the students to ask “Why?” and “How?” This course focuses primarily on a strong foundation in physics concepts, and only after concepts are established will some basic math be introduced Students will learn how to advocate for themselves and take ownership of their learning

Course Topics This is a conceptually based course that will incorporate mathematics skills based on concurrent enrollment Mechanics Linear, Circular, & Projectile Motion Newton’s Laws Energy, Power, Momentum, & Conservation Center of Gravity; Universal Gravitation Wave Motion Nature of Light, Color, and Sound
