About this course This is a course in Physical Science. It includes an introduction to Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy. This course is usually taken in the 8th or 9th grade, and is the last science course taken before the main three high school science courses (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology). If taken in 9th grade, schools would typically count this course as a high school science credit. This course includes lab exercises. Format and Materials As students watch the videos of the lectures, they take notes and solve the problems in the Student Workbook. Instructions for lab exercises are also included on the Course DVD. Homework, Tests, and Exams Homework assignments and a test for each chapter are found on the Parent CD, along with a final exam for each semester, solutions to all of the homework, tests, and exams, and other supporting materials. Homeschool parents will administer the tests and exams, and will check the student`s work with the solutions provided.
