Three-trimester courses that satisfy graduation requirements in physics
PH305 Physics by Inquiry
emphasizes methods of scientific investigation and development of conceptual reasoning
PH403 AB Physics B (Web)
a hybrid online/face-to-face course that helps prepare students for the AP Physics B exam
Two-trimester core course sequences that satisfy graduation requirements in physics
PH306/308 Physics I and II
provides an algebra-based foundation in the principles of classical physics
PH352/354 Physics with Advanced Topics I and II

In order to take the following sequence as a first NCSSM physics course, successful completion of the physics placement exam is required. The courses may also be taken as electives following a first-year NCSSM core physics sequence. They provide preparation for the AP C Physics exams. PH405 is a 2-trimester course that satisfies graduation requirements in physics. PH406 is a continuation of PH405 can completes the Electricity & Magnetism syllabus.
PH405/406 Advanced Physics (AP-C)
calculus-based treatment of two areas: i) classical mechanics and ii) electricity and magnetism
