Physical Science
This class will focus on the inorganic world, studying astronomy, physics, chemistry and certain areas of earth science. We'll learn about the atmosphere around us, how weather is predicted, and move beyond into space, dark matter, stars and galaxies. We'll discuss forces in nature, Newton's Laws of Motion, waves and sound, light, and overall discussions about patterns we see in the world around us. We'll have many fun, hands-on activities to enhance learning. We'll do group projects, look at how physical science is applied in today's discoveries, and problem solve issues that are found in today's scientific world. This class is meant to have lots of fun, while learning scientific principles!
