COURSE DESCRIPTION Modern Physical Science - Students will be introduced to the procedures and tools scientists use to explore the world around them. This includes the Scientific Method, the Metric System and how scientists share their information. Students will then study introductory Physics through Motion and Forces principles along with investigating the different forms of Energy. The second half the year the students will learn some Chemistry which is the study of matter and its changes. Students will investigate numerous problems and questions using given mathematical values to gain added insight into these physical concepts. Honors Physical Science - This course is recommended for the highly-motivated and academicallygifted 9th grader who has a strong interest in Science. The curriculum, while similar to that of Modern Physical Science, will also have a greater emphasis on mathematical concepts of Physics and principles of Chemistry. Students will investigate numerous problems and questions while using mathematical problem solving activities to gain added insight into these physical concepts.

III.

COURSE MISSION Students will understand that physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of the phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science.

IV.

DEPARTMENT MISSION The primary goal of the Science Department of Lower Cape May Regional High School is to support the school's mission statement of preparing students to lead successful lives by helping them to: communicate effectively, think critically and creatively, solve problems resourcefully, use technology effectively, work cooperatively, and develop as self-directed learners
