Why Study Physics? Physics is the study of the physical environment and the laws governing the behavior of particles, fields an space/time. More specifically physicists study mechanics, heat, light, electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, solid state physics and many other topics. Learning Outcomes Demonstrates knowledge of the basic concepts of physics (such as mechanics, thermodynamics and electricity and magnetism); Write effectively using the language of physics; Make and interpret laboratory measurements in physics Physics/Secondary Education Major (45 credits) Secondary Education Core (43 credits) Required Courses (51 credits) CHEM 151 General Chemistry (5) CHEM 152 General Chemistry (5) PHYS 151 General Physics I (4) PHYS 152 General Physics II (4) PHYS 153 General Physics III (4) PHYS 161 Mechanics Lab (1) PHYS 162 Heat and Optics Lab (1) PHYS 163 Instrumentation Lab I (1) PHYS 164 Instrumentation Lab II (1) PHYS 221 General Physics IV (4) PHYS 371 Introduction to Quantum Physics (4) PHYS 390 Physics Teaching Methods (1) MATH 161 Calculus I (5) MATH 162 Calculus II (5) MATH 163 Calculus III (5) SCED 390 Secondary Science Teaching Methods (1) Electives (18 credits) See Catalog for Approved Courses
