PHYSICS II
Advanced Research in Engineering Science


Instructor: Kenneth Bowles
Physics II is a full year weighted science course. Eventhough we call it Advanced Research in Engineering Science, we had to give it a course number for credit. Therefore, Physics II will show up on the schedule and transcript. The prerequisite is A.P. Chemistry and  Instructor Approval

The purpose of this course is to expand the study of biological, chemical, and physical sciences. Students will have the opportunity unique scientific research under the guidance of engineers and science professionals.Presentation of research to the scientific community will also be stressed and required as well as outreach to nearby elementary and middle schools. Time management and self-motivation are necessary for students interested in taking this course. Students must provide their own transportation.
