Online Physical Science Syllabus
Description:
This course is designed to provide students the necessary skills to have a richer knowledge base in physical science. In addition to basic physical science concepts, this course also includes more abstract concepts such as the conceptualization of the structure of atoms, motion and forces, the conservation of energy and matter, the action/reaction principle, and wave behavior. In this course, students also investigate physical science concepts through engaging Virtual Labs.
