Conceptual Science

This Conceptual Integrated Science course was specially designed by teachers at Heritage Academy to prepare Heritage scholars for high school and college level science classes. The course consists of a series of chapters in each of these three sciences as required by the revised Arizona Science Standards for High school (2018); Physics, Earth Science and Astronomy. Learning is guided by hands-on experiments and activities to ensure adequate ramping and integration of content knowledge and requisite skills in science. The Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process will be used throughout the course. Universal critical thinking and problem-solving strategies are also introduced and strengthened throughout the course. In order to gain an understanding that all scientific discoveries have relied on the experiences of those in the past, each chapter begins with a historical perspective and progresses to the point where scholars will see how knowledge is gained through the experiences, innovations, and curiosity of those who have gone before us.
