Integrated Physics & Chemistry

Rainbow Glass Spheres

Integrated Physics and Chemistry is an honors-level middle school science course. It is designated as honors not because it’s more work, but because I will introduce additional advanced topics in this course that are not generally introduced until high school. This course is taught as a traditional science course, incorporating laboratory activities, virtual activities, short-term projects, long-term studies, and field investigations. No previous formal science classes are required to be successful in this class. Students should expect to spend 2-3 hours a week outside of class doing assignments, watching videos, and working on projects. There is an additional $50 lab fee for this course.

 

Topics covered in this course include:

  • Laws of Motion

  • Work and Simple Machines

  • Forces and Fluids

  • Classifying Matter

  • Elements and Chemical Bonds

  • Chemical Reactions and Equations

  • Carbon Chemistry

  • Waves: sound, electromagnetic, light

  • Electricity and magnetism
