Physics
Each student in our physics classroom uses a computer that interfaces to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for gathering and analyzing experimental data. Hands-on learning activities help students connect events in the real-world to the theoretical laws of physics. In our physics program, students develop the conceptual understanding necessary for success in their junior and senior years at their university.
