NoneCourse description
In this course, students will integrate the science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas from the NGSS physical science standards. These core ideas revolve around the application of physics in the Earth and Universe. This focus includes forces, motion, energy conversion, nuclear process, waves, communication technology, and their application toward understanding the Universe including planetary motion, star and galaxy formation, and Earth’s structure and geology. There will be multiple opportunities for students to model and develop solutions to authentic problem-based scenarios. This course covers 7 units including forces and motion, earth's forces, impulse and momentum, energy concepts, energy and technology, waves and technology, and formation of the earth and the universe. Students complete 1-2 wet labs per unit along with a wet-lab write-up for each lab. Students are expected to work in the class 3-5 hours per week with 1-2 hours per week of assigned homework.
