The laws of physics supercede state law! 

Honors Physics is designed for college-bound juniors and seniors who have an interest in the physical sciences and who exhibit strong math skills.  Topics include the study of motion, forces, work, energy, momentum, fluid mechanics, heat, vibrations, waves, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism.
