Students develop skill in measuring, solving problems, using laboratory apparatuses, following safety procedures, and adhering to experimental procedures. Students focus on inquiry-based learning, with hands-on laboratory investigations and virtual laboratory experiences.
Students explore the relationship between matter and energy by investigating force and motion, the structure of atoms, the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, and the interactions of energy and matter. Students develop skill in measuring, solving problems, using laboratory apparatuses, following safety procedures, and adhering to experimental procedures. Students focus on inquiry-based learning, with hands-on laboratory investigations and virtual laboratory experiences.
Topics Covered
In this unit, students learn about the depth of physical science, the relationship between matter and energy, and scientific methods. Students use scientific methods in a laboratory setting and demonstrate their results through graphing.
Dimensions: Distance, Time, and Mass
Matter, Energy, and the Scientific Method
Creating and Analyzing Graphs
Laboratory: Drop and Bounce 1
Laboratory: Drop and Bounce 2
In this unit, students study Newton's three laws of motion, and they demonstrate those laws in a hands-on laboratory and in online simulations. Students also learn to define acceleration and force.
Describing and Measuring Motion
Acceleration
Forces
Laboratory: Drop and Bounce Revisited
Newton's First Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Third Law of Motion
Laboratory: Mass in Motion 1
Laboratory: Mass in Motion 2
Students explore friction, gravity, and force in this unit. They begin to understand the concept of vectors and learn to describe force in terms of vectors.

About the Tutor :
Alice C
Female| Experience years : 3 | Institution Hrs : NA
I am currently working 20-25 hour weeks as a personal tutor. I teach the SAT, ACT, creative writing and essay writing, and help elementary and junior high students with all of their school subjects. I also sometimes have English-conversation classes for adults who are looking to get comfortable with the language in a non-threatening environment, advise my high school junior and senior students with their college applications.
