Conceptual Physical Science: A Starship Voyage
3 units
Recommended for Success: Math 101
Lecture: 3 hours
You have been accepted to be a
crew member of Earth's first starship, the Sakarov. Class meetings are
simulations of the crew's orientation seminars and orientation workshops -
the textbook being the orientation manual for this first interstellar
voyage. During orientation workshops, crew members, working in small
groups, will apply elementary physics and astronomy concepts, learned from
the seminars, scale and composition of the local universe; gravitation; how
stars and planets form; light; how telescopes work; keys to understanding
motion in space; linear momentum; and angular momentum.
