Excel High School's Honors Physical Science course offers students a dynamic and comprehensive introduction to the world of physical science. Designed to expand students' understanding beyond basic concepts, this course delves into more intricate and abstract topics such as atom structure, motion and forces, energy and matter conservation, the principles of action and reaction, and wave behavior. It's an ideal program for students who are eager to build a solid foundation in physical science and gain a deeper understanding of the natural world.

What sets this course apart is its practical approach to learning. Students have the opportunity to explore and apply physical science concepts through engaging Virtual Labs. These interactive experiences not only reinforce theoretical learning but also encourage hands-on experimentation and inquiry. Course objectives include using the kinetic theory to describe states of matter, understanding energy conservation in chemical reactions, studying the properties of acids and bases, and making calculations related to motion. Students will also delve into the fundamentals of Newton’s Laws of Motion and explore various physical science concepts, including atomic models, electromagnetism, buoyancy, and electricity. This course is perfect for students looking to pursue careers in science or engineering or those who have a natural curiosity about how the world works.

Excel High School is a great school! My daughter was in another online high school last year, but she was not challenged and was not being prepared for college.

Since starting this year at Excel, she is being fully challenged in honors courses. My daughter told me the other day, "mom, I have never had to work so hard in school". We love you Excel High School and Anna will be with you until she graduates next year.
