Physical Science

Class Description

This course will cover the basics of the properties and structure of matter as well as the factors that affect physical and chemical changes at an atomic level. The laws of conservation of energy will be applied at a molecular level. Transfer of energy and earth systems and the study of the universe and stellar evolution will also be explored. Labs and activities aligning with the scientific method will be an integral part of the course work. Second semester will include describing motion in relation to Newton’s three laws, recognizing the universal forces of gravity, electricity, mechanical wave properties, and learning the energy of waves in both light and the electromagnetic spectrum. We will also compare and contrast kinetic and potential energy as well as methods of energy transfer.
