9-12 Physical Science - TTH $330 - Full STEAM Ahead - Elana Pope

This Physical Science course integrates key concepts from chemistry and physics, aligning with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to promote critical thinking and engineering practices. Through hands-on exploration and inquiry-based learning, students will cultivate robust communication skills to articulate their inquiries, hypotheses, methodologies, and conclusions effectively.

Throughout the course, students will engage in the analysis and interpretation of data, utilizing graphs and tables to convey both quantitative and qualitative findings. By employing evidence-based reasoning, students will develop the capacity to substantiate their claims and draw meaningful conclusions from their experiments and investigations.

By the end of the course, students will possess a foundational understanding of the fundamental principles governing matter and energy. Equipped with this knowledge, they will be empowered to apply scientific concepts to real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper appreciation for the relevance and application of science in everyday life.

This course will follow the a-g syllabi for Sequoia Grove, Cotton Wood School, and South Sutter Charter school. To earn a-g credit, families must coordinate with their charter school to ensure students meet each requirement.
