Physical Science

Course Description:  This course is designed as an introductory survey to the variety of topics in high school physics, chemistry, and biology.  Skills: Students will be using introductory algebra skills such as solving for unknown variables, and multi-variable formulas. Students will be introduced to applying the scientific method, forming and testing hypotheses in experiments, and documenting their findings in formal lab reports. Credits: 1 (Science), Non-honors When taken in 7th or 8th grade, this course may NOT be applied to the high school transcript. If taken in high school, it will count as a credit towards the LOS graduation science requirements, but the unweighted (non-honors) grade will lower the overall GPA. Mtg. Days:  Mon., Tues., Wed., & Thur (4 days each week) Required Materials:  Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 4th Edition Exploring Creation with Physical Science Solutions and Test Manual, 4th Edition This  COURSE AVAILABILITY SPREADSHEET shows
