Physical Science consists of pre-chemistry and pre-physics. 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. Background reading comes from the Bob Jones Physical Science book, but the teacher provides all definitions, learning objectives, practice problems, lab procedures, and tests.

| Course Description |
In our walk with Christ, we are called to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Cor 10:4-5). This Apologetics/Logic class provides students with knowledge, skills, and practice in breaking down personal, cultural, and philosophical strongholds that attempt to minimize Christ and His Word. In the Logic portion of the class, students learn how to identify and evaluate arguments; compare sources and evidence; examine statistics; and recognize/rebuff fallacies and propaganda. In the Apologetics aspect of the class, students learn the basic elements of a Christian worldview, how to evaluate a worldview, and a variety of evidences that support the historic Christian worldview. These evidences include philosophical, historical, presuppositional, cultural, and scientific arguments for the existence of the God of the Bible; the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and the truthfulness of Scripture. Student Textbooks: Why Should I Believe Christianity? by James Anderson; Science and God, by John Lennox & Katy Morgan; Fallacy Detective & Thinking Toolbox by Hans & Nathanael Bluedorn Homework: 1-2 hours/week Credits: 1.0 |
