Physical Science 1B
Course Description: This course
is designed to help students master physical science concepts
that are based upon required standards and objectives. In
Physical Science 1B, basics of physics are covered, from the
study of motion, (which includes discussions of Newton's laws of
motion), to energy, waves, and electricity and magnetism.
Each interactive lesson has self-check activities built into
each topic; quizzes are provided at the end of each lesson, and
comprehensive tests are found at the end of each module. The
course framework is designed so that students need not
necessarily start at the beginning; rather they easily may be
placed within the course at their knowledge level. Class.com's
standards-based lesson quizzes and comprehensive module exam can
be used in assessing skill mastery for individual students.
Scientific
inquiry, along with reading and writing, are incorporated
throughout the course as students participate in discussions,
complete inquiry labs and assignments, and explore scientifically
significant websites. In addition, "Real World Connections,"
"Highlights in Science," and activities are integrated
throughout the course to help students apply their knowledge
learned to real-life situations and across all curriculums.
