/ /Description: IPC / /is the foundational, honors physical science course that will prepare students / /for upper level high school science studies such as Biology, Chemistry, and / /Physics. Taught with a biblical world / /view, students will see how science affirms their faith. The first semester includes Introduction to / /Chemistry. The second semester includes / /Introduction to Physics.
/ /IPC is a full lecture and laboratory course, including / /testing and weekly homework assignments, that will earn 1 high school honors / /science credit. The class meets for 3 / /hours once weekly.
/ /Laboratory exercises hone skills in deduction, / /reasoning, and problem solving, allowing the student to develop a deeper / /intellectual approach to their study of science.
/ /A fall project will be assigned to study a famous / /scientist.
/ /A spring project will be a science project,
/
/demonstrating an IPC concept covered during the year.
/
/
/
/ Pre-Requisites: It
/
/is required that the student take Algebra 1 either before or while taking this
/
/course to be prepared for the calculations in the Physics portion of the
/
/course.

/ /Description: Physics / /is a comprehensive fast-paced, honors study of God’s physical creation covering / /topics such as Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Matter, / /Electromagnetics, Optics, and an introduction into Relativity and Quantum Physics.
/ /Physics is a full lecture and laboratory course, / /including testing and weekly homework assignments, that will earn 1 high school / /honors science credit. The class meets once / /weekly for 3 hours.
/ /Laboratory exercises hone skills in deduction,
/
/reasoning, and problem solving, allowing the student to develop a deeper
/
/intellectual approach to their study of science. Experiments and the accompanying calculations
/
/and analysis will allow the students to see physics in action in their everyday
/
/lives.
/
/
/
/ Pre-Requisites: The
/
/study of Physics requires a solid understanding of high school math. Students should have successfully completed
/
/Geometry, Algebra I, and Algebra II before attempting this class. The student should also be enrolled in
/
/Pre-Calculus, as much of the problem solving will require an understanding of
/
/trigonometry.
