Credits: (5)
Natural Sciences
A hands-on and mostly lab-based exploration of physics designed to foster basic understanding of the relationship between mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic forces and energy. The course explores how is energy fundamental in explaining the changes we observe around us and how this evidence is used to construct scientific understanding. Lab included. This course is open to all students and is part of science sequence recommended for students pursuing a career in elementary education. The suggested sequence is PHYS 111 followed by EASC 111.

Prerequisite: ENGL 099 with a grade of “C” or higher (or placement into college-level English); and either placement into OR co-enrollment in OR completion of a college-level Math course with a grade of “C” or higher.
