Curriculum Expectations:
This course enables students to develop their understanding of basic concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, and to relate science to technology, society, and the environment. Throughout the course, students will develop their skills in the processes of scientific investigation. Students will acquire an understanding of scientific theories and conduct investigations related to sustainable ecosystems; atomic and molecular structures and the properties of elements and compounds; the study of the universe and its properties and components; and the principles of electricity.
Prerequisite: None
Big Ideas
Biology: Ecosystems are dynamic and have the ability to respond to change, within limits, while maintaining their ecological balance. People have the responsibility to regulate their impact on the sustainability of ecosystems in order to preserve them for future generations.
Chemistry: Elements and compounds have specific physical and chemical properties that determine their practical uses. The use of elements and compounds has both positive and negative effects on society and the environment.
Earth and Space Science: Different types of celestial objects in the solar system and universe have distinct properties that can be investigated and quantified. People use observational evidence of the properties of the solar system and the universe to develop theories to explain their formation and evolution. Space exploration has generated valuable knowledge but at enormous cost.
Physics Electricity: is a form of energy produced from a variety of non-renewable and renewable sources. The production and consumption of electrical energy has social, economic, and environmental implications. Static and current electricity have distinct properties that determine how they are used.
