Thursday JH/HS (AM2A) – Physical Science w/ Labs

This continuing one-year course is designed to be taken before high school biology and is recommended for 8^th graders, but can be used as 9^th grade course work for the physical science requirement. The text discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics, with many hands-on experiments. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the environmentalist movement. It is an excellent course for preparing students to take a college-prep high school science curriculum. *New students are welcome to join this class mid-year!

Please note:  Since high school graduation requirement for state of California is at two lab sciences, one life science and one physical science, Grace Admin suggests students who are either non-college bound or are not on a science-related track should take Physical Science in 9th and Biology in 10th.
