In physics, students conduct laboratory and field investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and
scientific problem solving. Students study a variety of topics that include applying the laws governing motion, analyzing forces in the physical world, applying the laws
of conservation of energy and momentum, analyzing characteristics and behavior of waves, and investigating atomic, nuclear, and quantum phenomena. Students
apply physics to real world situations. Students, for at least 40% of instructional time, conduct descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations using safe,
environmentally appropriate and ethical practices.

*The length of each unit is a specific number of days, but it is understood that there is a range of +/- a day. The purpose of the flexibility is meant to allow teachers the
opportunity to plan for the needs of their students and to accommodate re-teaching or review when necessary. If pre-assessment indicates student mastery could be
obtained in a fewer number of days, the additional time could be used for extension or carried into the next unit.
