Academics · Grades 7–9
Honors Physics
Physics from motion and force outward—kinematics, energy, electricity, and optics.
Course overview
- Homework: 60 minutes a week
- Prerequisite: Math Olympiad 7 or Math 8, or placement
What you’ll learn
Kinematics and Dynamics
Describing motion first, then explaining it—the relationships between force, energy, and time that the rest of physics is built on.
Across Physics
Electricity, optics, and an introduction to nuclear physics, so the year covers the range of the subject rather than one corner of it.
Thinking Physically
The first priority is learning to think critically and scientifically about the physical environment, and to predict what it will do.
