(1 CREDIT) PHYSICAL SCIENCE (REGENTS)

8 CHS CREDITS, SIENA, PHYS 110 & PHYS 120 (pending)

Open to  grades 11 and 12

Prerequisite: The successful completion of both Regents Algebra I and Geometry.

A separate lab class is a required component of the course with a minimum of 1200 minutes of laboratory experience successfully completed to be eligible to sit for the Regents Exam.

Regents Physics is a dual enrollment college course structured using the Regents standards for Physics.  The Unit Topics that will be covered but not limited to are: Mechanics (Motion and Forces), Conservation of Energy & Momentum, Modern Physics, Waves, Electromagnetism and Electromagnetic Radiation.  Students will be expected to be able to describe physical phenomena conceptually and solve physics problems mathematically, using algebra and simple trigonometry, and support their conclusions through effective scientific writing.

While taking this Regents Physics course, Students will be dual enrolled for Regents Physics and with Siena College for General Physics IA (110) and IIA (120), which are both Algebra based physics, for a total of 8 credits. 

Siena College-High School Dual Enrollment courses offer high school student the opportunity to take college-level courses that are taught in the familiar environment of their own classroom. Students will receive four credits per Physics course on a Siena transcript upon successful completion.
