Physical Science

Physical Science (or physci) is a "survey" of physics and chemistry.  It covers, in one semester, what the normal physics and chemistry classes would take a year to cover.  Usually taken by all freshman, this class introduces students to the basic concepts which explain the universe.  We do lots of interesting and fun experiments like racing hot air balloons and building trebuchets.

Advanced Physical Science

PSX emphasizes the mathematic side of introductory science.  The course covers the same topics as physical science but goes deeper into the algebraic solutions and chemical reactions.  This class serves as a prep for students planning to take CIS Chemistry.

Chemistry

An elective science class for grades 10-12 that will introduce students to the world of atoms, the periodic table, chemical reactions (very cool!), stoichiometry, and acids and bases.  Through this clas, students will see connections between chemistry and everyday life.
