Physical Science

Monday 1:50-2:50  |  Grades 7-9  |  Instructor: Laurie Capen  |  Class meets 33 times

Exploring Creation with Physical Science is a “real science” course for junior high students. It is an excellent preparation for high school work. Think physics without the trig!  The course is well laid out and encourages good reading comprehension and study skills. It is also an introduction to simple lab work. Students will be expected to read the material and answer the questions on their own. Class time will be used for short labs and class discussion of the material. The instructor will grade tests and labs. Parents will be asked to monitor homework completion and proctor tests. Topics include: atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics.  There is no prerequisite.  There will be a lab fee for this course.
