In this course, students will learn the following:

• How to assess the accuracy of a measurement, and how to communicate this to others.
• How Newton's Laws of Motion apply to everyday situations
• To distinguish between the concepts of mass and weight
• The relationship between force and the amount of energy transferred
• The significance of the conservation of energy
• The correct definition and application of the various kinds of energy: kinetic energy, gravitational energy, elastic energy, potential energy.
• How to define and calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration.
• How to interpret graphs of position versus time, to determine the speed, and how to interpret graphs of velocity versus time, to determine the acceleration.
