| Grade Level | 8th - 12th |
| Openings | Open |
| Day(s) and Time(s) | Tuesday 8:30-10:30 |
| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
Co-requisite: Algebra 1 In this hands-on class, students learn to perform unit conversions, identify and use significant figures, graph data, and use an equation to solve a straightforward physical science problem. Students study basic terms and concepts related to matter, motion, force, energy, work, heat, electricity, magnetism, sound, light, atomic structure, and atomic bonding. On average, students spend about half of class time doing an experiment or activity using either traditional lab equipment or computer-linked sensors. Background reading comes from the Bob Jones Physical Science book, but the teacher provides all definitions, learning objectives, practice problems, lab procedures, and tests. Req Text: Bob Jones Physical Science (any edition) Homework time expected: 1 hour/week |

| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
In Physics Lab, students use computer-linked sensors as well as traditional lab equipment. Experiments correlate with most high school physics textbooks, but we study topics in the order presented in Apologia Physics. Students learn to evaluate graphed data and refine experiment designs, important skills for the ACT Science test. They also learn how to write lab reports and abstracts, completing 3 lab reports 1st semester and 3 250-word abstracts 2nd semester. Pre-requisites: Algebra I and Geometry Homework time expected: 1-2 hours per week

|---|---|
| Grade Level | 9th - 12th |
| Openings | Open |
| Day(s) and Time(s) | Thursday 10:30-12:00 |
| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
Chemistry Lecture covers atoms and molecules, chemical equations, stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, polyatomic ions, acids and bases, solutions, gases, kinetics, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, and redox reactions. Mrs. Johnson will supplement the Apologia 2nd edition text with information from other books, videos, and her own experience. Students who are not thoroughly familiar with significant figures and unit conversions will need the take the free 2-session warm-up class (10-11:30 Tuesday and Thursday of the week before fall semester begins). Students are encouraged to also take Chemistry Lab, where they will have hands-on experience with the topics taught in the lecture class. Pre-requisite: Algebra I TEXTBOOKS REQUIRED - Apologia Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd ed (need textbook and solutions/tests manual)

In Chemistry Lab, students conduct chemistry experiments with computer-linked sensors and instruments, as well as traditional lab equipment. The lab class correlates with the topics covered in Apologia Chemistry and many other high school chemistry texts. Students learn to work safely, precisely, and efficiently. They also use graphed data to identify the relationships between variables, an important skill for the ACT Science test. Pre-requisite: Algebra I Homework time expected: Less than 1 hour per week
