During the fourth quarter we will be studying basic physics. Physics is the study of forces and motion. We will begin by going over basic motion such as speed, velocity and acceleration. We will also discuss forces such as friction and gravity. We will then get more in depth with the forces that cause motion, balanced and unbalanced forces. Newton's laws of motion and the energy involved with motion will come next, with a focus on potential and kinetic energy. A problem solving physics challenge will round out the year.
