(SCIH023055)

NCAA Approved
UC a-g Approved

This course is the first in a two semester series that provides an introduction to the basic principles of physics and chemistry. Students will use basic mathematics in these areas as well as logical methods and practical applications. Topics covered include the nature of science, motion, velocity and momentum, standards of measurement, forces, Newton's Laws, energy, work and machines, electricity, magnetism, energy sources, waves, light, sound. Hands-on labs that allow students to experience the application of concepts, interactions, and processes are included.  Note: Lab kit is optional if student has access to all materials listed. 

Course Materials

Required:
Textbooks: Glencoe Physical Science, 2017. (ISBN: 9780076774562)

SCIH023 Lab Kit (Items marked with an asterisk* are available in the SCIH 023 055 lab kit. Lab kit is optional if you have access to all items listed.)

*100-mL graduated cylinder

*stopwatch

*1 measuring tape

*1 small bar magnet

*1 coiled-spring toy (like a “slinky”)

If you do not have access to the exact items on this list, you may substitute comparable items in the experiments. Suggested household and other common materials necessary to complete the labs in this course are:

1 pencil

10-12 sheets of graph paper

ice cubes

a ruler that is marked in both inches and centimeters (or the folding meterstick)

a rock

an eraser

a small block of wood

a square of aluminum foil (approx. 3” x 3”)

1 metal or plastic tray (like a cookie sheet or cake pan)

4 sheets of paper (equal sizes)

1 meterstick (or yardstick also marked in centimeters, or measuring tape at least 1.5 meters in length) *a measuring tape is available in the optional lab kit

scissors

masking tape or other colored tape you can write on

1 500-mL beaker (or heat-proof container that holds approx. 500 mL)

1/4 tsp. of ground black pepper (or other non-soluble, fine-grained spice)

1 candle

1 roll transparent tape

1 sewing needle

4 pieces of cloth of equal size (of the same type)

1 plastic foam cup

1 empty plastic water or soda bottle

1 meter length of rope or hose (If you do not have a rope, hose, or a long spring, you can substitute heavy string. You will need a length of at least 1 meter to adequately perform this experiment.)

1 penny or other small denomination of coin

1 small, opaque cup (like a coffee mug)

2 plane mirrors (flat mirrors)

1 protractor (or other means of measuring 90° and 120°)

1 paper clip
