Physical Science (Lab Only)
This class will focus on performing the labs and experiments only for Physical Science, using Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 3rd Edition. All materials will be provided for each student to have their own setup for each lab/experiment. The coursework and tests are to be completed at home, up to the parents’ discretion.
Requirements: Apologia Exploring Creating with Physical Science, 3rd Edition, Textbook and Student Notebook (out of print). The 4th Edition can be used, as it generally covers the same topics, however, there are a few experiments that differ from the 3rd to the 4th edition. If you have access to a 3rd edition textbook but not a student notebook (out of print!), I will be providing blank Experiment and Lab Reports to use in class.
From Apologia’s description: “Students will explore the science of God’s physical laws of creation as they study chemistry, physics, earth science, and science research concepts. Students will complete labs and hands-on projects throughout the course for an immersive learning experience with practical application.”
