Integrated Physics & Chemistry Supply List (2010)

Transcription

1 Integrated Physics & Chemistry Supply List (2010) Integrated Physics and Chemistry is a physical science course covering basic concepts found in chemistry and physics. Topics included in the study are matter, motion and forces, work and energy, electricity and magnetism and waves. Throughout the course, the student will have opportunities to observe simulations, investigate ideas, and solve problems-both on screen and away from the computer. Upon completion of the course, students: Gain an understanding of foundational concepts in physics and chemistry. Make careful observations of the surrounding environment. Analyze problems and solutions scientifically. Integrate science knowledge with real world situations at a local, regional, national and international level. Appreciate the impact of science discovery on everyday life. A key component to any science lab course is the student s discovery of scientific laws and principles through investigation. This supply list is provided so students and parents can plan ahead to have needed materials available when projects are assigned in each unit of study. Have fun!
