Principles of Physics I and LAB – PHYS 1211K

Description

Principles of Physics I and Laboratory is a 4 semester credit hour introductory course which will include material from mechanics, thermodynamics and waves. Elementary differential calculus will be used.

Students enrolling in eCore lab science courses are advised to consult with transferring institution to determine transferability of course credits.

Important Lab Information

This course has a laboratory component that requires specific materials. More information can be found below, but you are encouraged to obtain the materials as soon as possible.

There are three ways to acquire the necessary materials for the labs:

  1. Gather your own materials – approximately $30.00
  2. Physics Kit - $29.85
  3. Physics Specialty Kit - $14.90
  • The cost for option one includes all lab material needed for PHYS I (See lab material list).
  • The cost for option two includes most material for PHYS I (See lab material list).
  • The cost for option three includes specialty items for PHYS I (See lab material List).
  • NOTE: You will need all materials from option one for your lab kit (See lab material list Current).
  • For options two and three, price includes shipping and handling for Ground shipping. Other shipping and handling options may add to the total cost.
