Physical Science II: Physics in Robotics

This set of open educational resources contains teaching materials that may be used for teaching a physical science course taken by non-STEM majors in a typical US-based baccalaureate program. This resource contains two versions of the teaching materials. Each of these versions contain PowerPoint lectures for each chapter, homework files, workbook activities, and sample questions (Check Your Understanding (CYU) exercises) from each chapter.

Upon completion of this science course for non-STEM majors, students should be able to communicate scientific issues effectively in oral and written form, distinguish scientific studies from popular opinions by employing critical thinking skills and the scientific method, effectively collect, analyze and present data and correctly construct and interpret charts, graphs and tables to draw scientific conclusions, and apply the fundamental concepts and methodologies of physics and/or chemistry to investigate a scientific theme.
