Physics
The science of physics is the science of everything.  The laws of physics explain all forms of motion. This includes the motion of galaxies, planets (or things that used to be planets), rain drops, electrons, and quarks.  The laws of physics also explain all forms of energy.  This includes how things can move, why things are hot or cold, and why a lightsaber is probably not theoretically possible.  Physics is cool.  Physics is usually taken by juniors or seniors because the mathematics involved are rigorous.

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.

Advance 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.  

Principles of Engineering
This course is part of the Project Lead the Way curriculum.  The class shows students what it really means to be an engineer, both through academic and hands-on study.  Students spend the majority of the class working on projects, whether they be mechanical, electronic, or both.   A substantial portion of the class also focuses on coding and how to apply that to actual robotic systems.
