Per WGU's published description, Secondary Physics Curriculum offers a comprehensive review for high school physics teachers preparing for the Praxis exam. The sweep is named: major scientific discoveries, key engineering innovations, and their societal impacts; ethical issues in scientific research and the principles of effective science communication; the different forms of energy, the laws of thermodynamics, and the role of energy and matter in the universe; Coulomb's Law, electric circuits, and electromagnetism; and integrating wave properties, sound waves, and the electromagnetic spectrum into teaching practice. The description states the working level directly: as this course is focused on Praxis prep, content is conceptual and algebra-based.
The September 2026 catalog prints it on three tables. On both bachelor's tables, the B.S. Science Education (Secondary Physics) and the B.A. Educational Studies secondary physics track, it closes term 8 beside D863 Waves, Acoustics, and Sound and D805 Secondary Disciplinary Literacy, with the licensure table adding D862 Astrophysics with Lab and D873 Laboratory Safety to that closing row, the last content term before the clinical and student-teaching terms that always stay with the student. On the Physics endorsement program, restricted by the catalog to licensed secondary science teachers, it closes the 23-CU program alone in term 3. The M.A. Teaching, Science Education (Secondary Physics) initial-licensure table runs the graduate twin D865 Secondary Physics Curriculum (EDUC 5225, 2 CUs) in its term 3 with a matching description, so quote by the code on your audit.
