SAMPLE PROGRAM COURSE
CNSCI 6102 Physics of Forces and Motion
Physics is a science of the fundamental processes of nature involving observation, experimentation and theory. Participants build their understanding of mechanical physics concepts and principles through guided inquiry. They investigate motion, forces, momentum, energy and pressure through observation, hands-on experimentation, simulation, video, graphical representations and discussions. Participants apply their new understanding to explaining commonplace physical phenomena.
