PHYSICAL SCIENCE
In this unit, students will be studying energy and the different terms that we can use to classify that energy. Specifically, students will learn about Newton's laws of motion and that the amount of change in movement of an object is based on the mass of the object and the amount of force exerted. Students will devote quite a bit of time to the study of light and sound; understanding that these are forms of energy that behave in predicable ways.
