Physics (PHS)

An extension of the investigation of quantum mechanics begun in PHS 301 to include the full mathematical development of the theory. Basic tools including linear operators and matrices will be used to explore physical systems.

Designed for teachers, this course will reinforce and extend basic concepts in physics covered in the Science Course of Study. (May be used in the general science teaching field with a major in secondary education.) May be repeated up to three times.

This course deals with basic concepts in physics for pre-service and in-service secondary education teachers. It covers contents, methods, and hand-on activities. Topics selected from electricity, magnetism, and optics.
