About the Course
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Course Description:
Beginning with an introduction to why we do science, the Physical Science
Student Text, 5th ed., gradually builds the student's understanding of
physics concepts in a logical sequence. Beginning with classical mechanics,
the text progresses through work and energy, wave phenomena, electricity
and magnetism, and light and optics. These transition naturally into the
chemistry topics, beginning with the atomic model, then to elements and
compounds, chemical reactions, and finishing with solutions, and acids,
basis, and salts. Every chapter shows by example why the subject matter is
relevant to a Christian worldview of science.
Each student will do a Science Fair project as well this year.
Course objectives:
Students will know how everything they do relates to chemistry and
physics. Their love for chemistry will grow as they will see the
wonder in how matter and energy interact in the food we eat, the
drinks we drink, and the matter that makes up our world. While in
physics they will see how things move, why things move, and why
objects behave as they do.
