Physical Science. All students will understand that physical science principles, including fundamental ideas about matter, energy, and motion, are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of phenomena in physical, living, and Earth systems science.
Physical Science. Courses in this area should teach fundamental concepts and principles – how these were derived, and how they are applied. Although a specific prerequisite is not required for introductory courses, these courses are expected to be at the baccalaureate level in content and scope. It is not appropriate for courses in this area to be primarily professional or technical in nature. Credit will not be given for introductory courses taken after more advanced level courses in this area.
Physical Science. In physical science students deepen their understanding of energy through investigations demonstrating the transformation of kinetic energy and energy transfer by radiation, conduction, or convection. In earth science students extend their knowledge of earth processes related to rock and soil formation and surface features. They analyze evidence for plate tectonics and apply an understanding of fossils and rock formations to questions about geologic history.
