Mr. Albers graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a B.S. in Physics with
concentration in Astronomy. He received his M.S. in Education from the University of New Haven. This
is his fourth year teaching at Trumbull High School.
"Honors Physics" and "Advanced College Prep Physics" comprise a study of mechanics, wave
phenomena, optics, heat, electricity, and magnetism. Honors Physics also covers topics such as angular
motion, modern atomic physics, and relativity. Both courses demonstrate the mathematical
relationships in basic physics concepts and apply these relationships to problem solving situations.
During the course, students will:
- Demonstrate critical thinking skills and scientific inquiry through class discussions and activities.
- Apply concepts and principles of Physics to demonstrations and laboratory activities.
- Apply concepts and principles of Physics to their everyday life.
