The CIT Physics class is one of two classes that Freshmen take in their first semester in CIT. It is taught in collaboration with Mr. Tessmer's CIT Engineering I Class. Together we explore the physics principles that make the world tick and apply them by creating exciting engineering projects.

 

CIT Physics is a dynamic, hands-on class. Students don't just learn physics: they experience physics first hand!

 

Topics covered in CIT Physics include:

1. Scientific Process

2. Contant Velocity

3. Kinematics

4. 2 Dimensional Kinematics (Projectile Motion)

5. Newton's 1st and 3rd Laws (Statics)

6. Newton's 2nd Law (Dynamics)

7. Energy and Momentum

8. Circular Motion

9. Light, Sound, Optics

10. Basic Circuits & Electricity
