Physics

In physics, junior students will learn about the underlying principles of energy and matter through visible phenomena and predictive models, ultimately culminating in the scientific basis of the origins and future of our universe. Additionally, through our partnership with the University of Chicago, we are one of only a few pilot schools exploring applications of quantum computing and encryption, ensuring our physics students are prepared for the challenges of future industry.

Our curriculum changes based upon student interest and the changing world around us, but we maintain alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards. For an introduction to the physics science standards adopted by CPS and adhered to by our highly-qualified educators, please see the document linked here.
