Advanced Honors Physical Science

In Physical Science we will be studying mainly Chemistry and Physics, including:

• Force and motion

• Structure and properties of matter

• Interactions of matter

• Energy

For more specifics on what we will be learning, see the Physical Science curriculum guide at:

http://www.state.tn.us/education/ci/cistandards2001/sci/cisciphysicalscience.htm

In Physical Science, we will be spending a great deal of time on laboratory technique and science skills. So expect to see lab reports being worked on as homework. There is a lab report rubric in every student’s notebook and a section on the syllabus about what is expected on lab reports.

There is an online version of the student textbook. It can be accessed from the Glencoe Science website http://www.glencoe.com/sec/science/ose/index.html. Our username is “PHYSICAL” and our password is “qarefu9ube”. The online version of the book is exactly like the student text. This resource could help lighten those backpacks.
