Description

This course is designed as an interactive; 21st century course focusing on basic physics and chemistry. Topics include forces and motion; energy through waves; electricity and magnetism; the matter around us; chemical bonding and reactions.This course is designed to serve as a foundation for the study of the physical sciences. The utilization of scientific inquiry; web 2.0 tools; interactive experiences; higher order thinking; collaborative projects; real world application through labs and a variety of assessments all aid the student in ultimately demonstrating a vast understanding of the importance of the physical and chemical properties of the world around them; enabling them to apply these properties to their everyday lives.
