INTERGRATED
PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY SYLLABUS
Course Description:
|
In Integrated Physics and Chemistry, students conduct field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during investigation, and make informative decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. This course integrates the disciplines of Physics and Chemistry in the following topics: motion, waves, energy transformations, properties of matter, changes in matter and solution Chemistry. |
Course
Requirements:
1. At least three major exams will be given during each nine week period
2. Nine Week Exam
3. Labs
4. Notebooks, containing all work done during each nine-week period, will be turned in at the end of each grading period.
