    Regents Physics:

    Grade 11 & 12: Physics opens the door to your understanding of many events in the world around you. This course
    addresses the development and refinement of your ideas about motion, forces, heat, vibrations, electricity, electrical,
    magnetism and the rules governing the behavior of atomic sized particles. You will learn that these ideas can be
    expressed mathematically, as well as through language, and that there are many unifying principals in nature. You
    will actively be involved in learning the rules to nature’s laws.

    Regents Physics Lab:

    Grade 11 & 12: Physics lab activities are structured such that students learn the fundamental skills necessary to
    investigate the concepts of force and motion. By “hand-on” approaches to problems, the students learn to
    understand and simplify the problems, understand physical principles that make it possible to solve the problems
    experimentally, understand the apparatus and techniques needed, and how to evaluate and interpret results. In this
    course, lab activities will include exploration in the following areas: mechanics, energy, electricity & magnetism, wave
    phenomena and modern physics.
