PHYSICAL SCIENCE Instructor:  TBA   Course Description   Textbook:  Exploring Creation with Physical Science, by Dr. Jay Wile.   This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. The course discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum. (from Apologia Educational Ministries, www.highschoolscience.com)
