Physics B
(Units: 0.5)

The science of physics involves the discovery of patterns and relationships in natural phenomena. As students progress through this course, they will continue to view familiar situations from a different perspective. They will learn to explain, according to the laws of physics, the events that occur in the world around them. Through text, graphics, and interactive simulations, they will investigate wave motion, sound, light, reflection and refraction, color, magnetism, electricity, and nuclear physics.

This course meets TEKS requirements for one semester of high school Physics I.

Course cost: $325
