This general physical science course uses a hands-on, project-based approach allowing students to explore the foundational principles of physical science! Using the text and lab activities, we'll have fun studying forces, machines, motion, energy, electricity, magnetism, sound, light, density and buoyancy. Students will also study general chemistry concepts including the structure of matter, the periodic table, chemical bonds and reactions, mixtures and compounds and the chemistry of food and living systems. In addition, students will learn the fundamental physics concepts of the earth and solar system, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. The students will gain a solid understanding of the scientific method and learn to write thorough and accurate lab write-ups. Throughout this course, students will discover the relationship between science and daily life!

Participants bring a sack lunch and drink.
