Physical Science

Examines measurement using the English and metric systems, with special attention to accuracy and precision and the principles of measuring physical quantities. Also includes matter and energy concepts, simple density and displacement problems, chemical structure, equations and neutralization reactions, solutions, stoichiometry, acids, bases, and salts, using ion theory.

Offers an introduction to the study of vector and static equilibrium forces and composition and resolution of parallel forces. Explains and demonstrates applications of friction and center of gravity, mechanics of motion, Newton’s laws, impulse, momentum, gravitation, work power, kinetic and potential energy, and principles of simple machines.
