Students in Environmental Science will be studying the interaction between humans and their environment. This will include looking at the cycling of nutrients, and how living and nonliving things work together.

Course Syllabus

Physics I is a course designed for high school students in grades 11 & 12. Topics studied include motion, forces, momentum, energy, heat, electricity & magnetism, waves & optics, fluid mechanics, and atomic & particle physics. The course requires that students be comfortable describing and solving real-world problems using algebra and basic trigonometry. The course also requires vector math, but this topic is taught at the beginning of the course. The course is supported by an interactive, inquiry-based laboratory environment where students gain hands-on experience with the concepts being studied. The content of the course course exceeds the requirements of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for high school physics and is recommended for students who are planning to take AP Physics and/or the SAT subject test in physics.

This course on sound is designed to give learners an online interactive experience learning about the physics and mathematics of sound.  The unit is certainly not exhaustive of the topic but is a start for students to learn by creating and recording with software such as Audacity and Visual Analyzer.  My hope is that as time allows for myself and others and as the long tail of the internet reaches far that this can serve as a collaborative seed to a great moodle unit on learning the physics and mathematics of sound.  The next block could include an experiment on open and closed pipes.  Create and Share.
