Grading: Computer Evaluated
Course Description: This is the first course in a two-part eighth-grade science series (GSCI 35 and GSCI 37). In this introduction to integrated physics and chemistry, students will begin their study of the natural world by looking at its smallest part, atoms. The course will then focus on how objects interact, including discussions of energy, motion, and force. Students will apply the concepts of force and motion and work in a hands-on simple machines lesson.
