Course Title Physical Science 8 Term Offered Full Year Credit Value 1.0 Prerequisite(s) None Course Description: This course provides opportunities for students to develop concepts basic to understanding the chemical structures of matter, forms of energy, introductory principles of physics, introductory principals of astronomy, the fundamentals of magnetism and electricity, and the physical processes of the Earth and its materials. Critical thinking, analysis and application of student-developed data are skills that are exercised. Course Title Physics Lab 8 Term Offered 1 Quarter Credit Value .25 Prerequisite(s) None Course Description: Eighth Grade Physics is a course designed to introduce middle school students to the most basic science, Physics. This course will examine the theories of Physics with a very small dependence on the mathematics involved. The student will learn how to apply the simple theories presented to everyday life. Forces, motion, matter, sound, and light are just some of the terms that will be described in this course. Through lecture, readings, simple math problems, and laboratory activities, the student will gain an understanding of Physics in the real world.
