Physics II Electro Magnetism

Taylor School District

Leader in Education

Course Title:

Physics II

(Electro Magnetism)

(Grades 11 & 12)

Course Description:

This course provides experiences in the fields of measurements, sound, light, wave-motion, electricity and magnetism. Mathematics will be used in problem solving. Laboratory experiments will be included on a regular basis.

Many colleges require a physics credit, so the class is recommended for college bound students. It is particularly important for those considering engineering, medicine, or physical sciences in college.

Prerequisites:

Physics 1, Algebra 1, Geometry, Chemistry 1, 9^th Grade Science, and one of the following: (Life Science Foundations, Biology I or Biochemistry).

Text and Materials:

Physics – Principles and Problems (Paul Zitzewicz)

Scientific Calculator (Recommended TI-30 or TI-83)

Supplementary Materials:

Required Course Content (Standards & Benchmarks):

Physics is an extended curriculum class so students coming into it should already have had the opportunity to master the high school benchmarks for science. However, their experiences in physics will allow them to review and extend their mastery of the physical science and many math benchmarks.
