This course provides students with the opportunity to explore key concepts in earth, life, and physical science aligned to Ohio State Standards. In Earth science, students will study Earth's water cycle, patterns that exist in atmospheric and oceanic currents, the relationship between thermal energy and the currents, and the relationship between the Earth, Sun, and Moon.
In life science, students will investigate interactions among organisms, including symbiotic relationships, explore how species adapt to their environments, and the impact of matter and energy with ecosystems. In physical science, students will study energy (potential and kinetic), changes in matter, and energy transformations within systems. Students will also dig deeper into the Periodic Table.
Through hands-on and virtual investigations, students will develop scientific inquiry skills and apply mathematical reasoning to analyze data and draw conclusions.
