Course description

Physical Science A:†

This is the first of two courses that comprise Physical Science. Throughout the semester; the student will be introduced to a variety of basic concepts in the field of chemistry. The student will also be introduced to the forces and motion; including topics of Newton?s laws and the conservation of momentum.This course consists of varied curriculum that provides the student the opportunity to use a scientific approach to problem-solving and making real-world connections. The student will investigate how matter is classified; explore the structure of an atom; identify groups within the periodic table; compare and contrast chemical reactions; study the properties of acids and bases and identify how to apply forces and motion to objects.

†Physical Science B:†This is the second of two courses that comprise Physical Science. Throughout the semester; the student will study a variety of essential physics concepts including energy of motion; energy and forces; thermal energy; non-contact forces; waves; and electromagnetic radiation. This course includes a variety of instructional strategies and provides the student the opportunity to use a scientific approach to problem-solving and making real-world connections. Physical Science B includes hands-on explorations and virtual simulations to enhance the student's comprehension of key concepts.
