PLEASE NOTE: This course includes teacher services. The auto-graded option is not yet available. Primary Grade: 9 Grade Range: 9, 10, 11, 12 Credit Equivalency: Semester: 0.5 Credits Full year: 1 Credit COURSE DESCRIPTION Physical Science students are introduced to the principles of chemistry and physics so that they may develop a better understanding of atoms, chemical reactions, and nuclear interactions. Students explore the properties and states of matter and investigate chemical bonds and reactions. Students will investigate the development of the periodic table, an outline of modern atomic theory, and organic and nuclear chemistry. Additionally, students study Newton’s laws of motion while considering the interactions between motion, forces, energy, and thermodynamics. As a prerequisite to Physical Science, students must have completed Algebra I and must possess basic spreadsheet, word processing, and presentation software knowledge.
