Core Science Class

This course is designed to allow students to explore the basic concepts of physical science with the primary focus on physics and chemistry.  Students will use scientific inquiry and process as they explore the nature of matter, chemical and physical, forces, motion, energy, gravity, atoms, magnetism and electricity. This will lead them to a better understanding of how all substances in our universe interact.  We approach these concepts by emphasizing links between the nature of science in real world situations and other content areas.
