Principles of Physics I and LAB – PHYS 2211K

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.

If you plan to order a kit after August 31, 2018 call AquaPhoenix Customer Service Number: 1-866-632-1291

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

  1. Gather your own materials – approximately $30.00
  2. Physics Kit - $29.85
  • The cost for option one approximates the cost to gather all lab material needed for PHYS I (See lab material list).
  • This price includes shipping and handling for ground shipping in the state of Georgia. Other shipping and handling options may add to the total cost.
