Physics
Physics is a course taught by Ms. Chase. Physics closely resembles the AP Physics
C Mechanics class often offered at other schools, because of this many students opt to take the AP exam.
We learn topics with algebra and calculus based methods including dynamics, energy, momentum, and centripetal
motion. We do work in groups and independently, and take notes in class.
Traffic Light POW
The traffic POW (Problem Of the Week) was a lab we did in September in a group of three.
We were tasked with developing a mathematical solution to determine how long a traffic light should remain
yellow. This was challenging because we had to take into account the many factors that affect driving within
our model.
