Physical Science

Physical science is a first-year science class at this

school. Physical science is the study of the physical

world around you. Physical science can be broken up into

two branches, chemistry and physics.

Chemistry:

the study of the structure and properties of matter.

Physics:

the study of the relationships between matter and energy.

The class provides an introduction to basic chemistry and

basic physics. Within each chapter are several pages that

cover topics such as matter, chemical reactions,

solutions, motion, forces, and electromagnetism.

Virtual labs and/or simple at home labs are conducted for

most chapters. Lab reports must be submitted, organizing

data and answering questions for the experiment.

Earth & Space Science

The Earth and Space Science course is a course focusing

on the study of space, geologic structures and forces, the

waters on our planet, and the atmospheric forces that

shape our world. Students will explore the Earth’s

spheres including the geosphere, hydrosphere,

cryosphere, atmosphere, and the cycles of the Earth such

as the water and carbon cycle. Students will learn about

scientific inquiry, geologic time, space exploration, the

solar system, and the universe.

Upon completion of the course, students will be

sensitized to various moral and environmental issues

being brought to the fore by research of the universe and

other areas of earth and space structure and function of

the various cells, tissues, and integrated systems of the

body. The course is designed to lay the groundwork then

move into various human systems.
