------------------------------
A calculus-based online physics course is an introduction to physics. Topics covered include kinematics, dynamics, work, energy, rotational mechanics, and fluids. Students will gain conceptual understanding of the topics covered and ability to use quantitative methods, including calculus, to model physical phenomena. This online physics course includes laboratory work.

Note: Our General Physics I (Calculus-based) course is a great addition to degree programs that are already underway. If you are interested in starting a degree program at Doane, please visit our website at www.doane.edu.

 

Course Includes

  • illustration of a person talking. Lectures
  • illustration of a beaker. Labs
Labs fall into three categories: at-home labs, laboratory kits and virtual labs. At-home labs use commonly found household items or things that can easily be purchased and come with a set of instructions on how to complete the lab. Laboratory kits are used in this course and are very similar to at home-labs - items and directions required to complete the lab are sent directly to you via the purchase of a lab kit. Virtual labs are also used in this course and use designed simulations which walk you through any experiment and will ask you lab-related questions. Hands-on labs may require a video of you performing the lab and/or a completed lab report.
