Physical Science an introduction to the principles of physics and chemistry and builds the foundation for success in
science for the years to come. We investigate physical science concepts through an inquiry-based approach.
Embedded standards for Inquiry, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are taught in the context of the
content standards for Energy, Matter, Motion, and Forces. Topics covered include: Matter, Atoms, Periodic table,
Chemical Bonds, Chemical Reactions, Water, Acids and Bases, Electricity, Motion, Forces, Energy, Simple
Machines, Mechanical Waves, and Electromagnetic Waves.

This year our class will be paperless. Any papers that are passed out will not have to be returned. Hopefully, this
will cut down on germs and sharing of materials among peers. It will also help with the transition between remote,
virtual and traditional class.
