This section of Ohio law requires a three-unit course with inquiry-based laboratory experience that engages students in asking valid scientific questions and gathering and analyzing information. Physics elaborates on the study of the key concepts of motion, forces and energy as they relate to increasingly complex systems and applications that will provide a foundation for further study in science and scientific literacy. Students engage in investigations to understand and explain motion, forces and energy in a variety of inquiry and design scenarios that incorporate scientific reasoning, analysis, communication skills and real-world applications. **Units**

During the years of grades 9 through 12, all students must use the following scientific processes with appropriate laboratory safety techniques to construct their knowledge and understanding in all science content areas: • dentify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations; •Design and conduct scientific investigations; •Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications; •Formulate and revise explanations and models using logic and evidence (critical thinking); •Recognize and analyze explanations and models; and •Communicate and support a scientific argument . || The following information may be taught in any order; there is no ODE-recommended sequence. Motion • Graph interpretations Position vs. time Velocity vs. time Acceleration vs. time • Problem solving Using graphs (average velocity, instantaneous velocity, acceleration, displacement, change in velocity) Uniform acceleration including free fall (initial velocity, final velocity, time, displacement, acceleration, average velocity) • Projectiles Independence of horizontal and vertical motion Problem-solving involving horizontally launched projectiles Energy • Gravitational potential energy • Energy in springs • Nuclear energy • Work and power • Conservation of energy Waves • Wave properties o Conservation of energy o Reflection o Refraction o Interference o Diffraction • Light phenomena o Ray diagrams (propagation of light) o Law of reflection (equal angles) o Snell’s law o Diffraction patterns o Wave – particle duality of light o Visible spectrum and color Electricity and magnetism • Charging objects (friction, contact and induction) • Coulomb’s law • Electric fields and electric potential energy • DC circuits o Ohm’s law o Series circuits o Parallel circuits o Mixed circuits o Applying conservation of charge and energy (junction and loop rules) • Magnetic fields and energy • Electromagnetic interactions || Youtube clips: running man movmedia type="youtube" key="TqHjZZCCkxg" height="74" width="76" redneck merry go roundmedia type="youtube" key="I0gK3r8WJsY" height="66" width="80" [] media type="youtube" key="TqHjZZCCkxg" height="28" width="152" minute of physics on you tube || **Units**
