In Physics we will use your math skills from Algebra and Geometry. We will use the metric system for measurements, and scientific notation when we deal with really small or large numbers. We will learn to use significant digits when recording our answers. Things that we will study are: vectors, velocity, acceleration, gravity, Newton, Einstein, Kepler,  momentum, sound and light. We will try to have a hands on activity or lab about once a week.
