| IB Physics SL |  |  | | motion |
During the first trimester we studied motion, force, Newton’s Laws, work and energy. During second trimester we continued with momentum, circular motion, thermal physics, waves and electric charge. Third trimester includes electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics and some topics in biomedical physics.

Problems
Much
of a physicist's work is in recognizing the problem to be solved. In
doing so, she or he might make assumptions that, even though false,
don't affect the outcome of the problem very much. We'll simplify our
problems, too, so that we can focus on key principles. "Do we need to consider air resistance in this problem?"
Uncertainties and Error
In the lab we're also focusing on knowing how reliable our measurements are. Is the answer we give accurate to within the uncertainty we quote?
