Course Descrip ion!

)he course $eatures in#estigation o$ interdisciplinar! topics through the perspecti#e o$ motion, $orces, energ!, and ph!sical interaction. )he emphasis o$ this course will "e on the nature o$ the
scienti$ic process and in&uir! in ph!sics- the $undamental "uilding "loc o$ ph!sical science. )opics will include the nature o$ scienti$ic in&uir!, concepts o$ energ!, motion, $orces, relati#it!, and the properties o$ matter. Engaging learning opportunities will "e pro#ided to stimulate comprehension, retention and a sense o$ #aluing the topics studied. .n&uir!%"ased, interdisciplinar!, standards%dri#en, concept%oriented, hands%on learning acti#ities will "e used whene#er possi"le. (ooperation and team%wor are ma'or components o$ this course. (ourse content is centered on the /ext *eneration Science Standards +/*SS, and will prepare students to ma'or in $ields o$ the natural sciences such as en#ironmental science, "iolog!, chemistr!, and ph!sics. Additionall!, course content and application is centered on Leadership Standards $rom the /ational Alliance $or Secondar! Education and )ransition and Entrepreneurship Standards "! the (onsortium $or Entrepreneurship Education. (oursewor will "e planned to insure that students reach or exceed LEP High and 0regon State Standards and are prepared $or college.
