Core Subject Description: Evolution of our understanding of matter, motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and the universe from ancient times to the present; applications
of physics and chemistry concepts in contexts such as atmospheric phenomena, cosmology, astronomy, vision, medical instrumentation, space technology, drugs, sources of
energy, pollution and recycling, fitness and health, and cosmetics.

Why we believe that 1. Aristotelian vs. Galilean 1. compare and contrast the
the laws of physics views of motion Aristotelian and Galilean
are universal conceptions of vertical S11/12PS-IVc-46
2. how Galileo used his motion, horizontal motion,
discoveries in mechanics and projectile motion.
(and astronomy) to
address scientific
objections to the 1. Balance,
2. explain how Galileo inferred that

uniform acceleration, and that S11/12PS-IVc-47

6. explain how the photon concept
and the fact that the energy of
a photon is directly
proportional to its frequency
can be used to explain why
red light is used in
photographic dark rooms, why
we get easily sunburned in
ultraviolet light but not in
visible light, and how we see
colors
