This course will introduce you to the basics of physics learning about motion, forces, gravity, energy, momentum, collisions, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. Physics is the study of everything around you, forming the basis of all science. As you begin to understand and analyze basic principles of physics, you will gain a greater understanding of the world around you and other areas of science.
This Online Endorsement Course meets the Utah State Science Endorsement Course Requirements for:
- Earth Science: General Physics
- Middle School: General Physics (pathway 2)
- Physical Science: General Physics I
- Physics: General Physics I
This is a content and classroom teaching course. Lesson plan creation is part of the course. Emphasis is on best practices used to teach this content in your classroom. Additionally, the online science endorsement courses require participants to practice the science lessons in either a classroom setting or with a group of at least five individuals (can be family, friends, neighbors, etc.). In signing up for this course, you may need to be able to have weekly access to one of these two settings to complete assignments.
Upon successful completion, the participants will receive 3.0 Southern Utah University Credits (included in the cost of the course).
