Physical Science

Physical Science is a two part introductory course on physics and chemistry.  In the first part students will learn and apply knowledge about motion, forces, matter, and energy.  In the second part, students will study matter, its composition, and the changes it undergoes.  This course also consists of  laboratory experiences where students will examine the concepts found within the LPS Physical Science Curriculum.
