Energy Throughout Physics
This one-week in-person class/workshop will cover content relevant for high school physics instruction regarding the concept of energy in many areas of physics. Traditional topics like mechanics will be complemented with related topics in electromagnetism, fluids, electronics, nuclear physics, etc., based on the interests of the participants. Applications of calculus in these areas can be covered as participant interest warrants. Connections to the Next Generation Science Standards will be made.
The class can be taken for two graduate credits or for continuing education.
