PHYSICAL SCIENCE
PHSC V01 - CONCEPTS IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE - 4 Units
Prerequisite: MATH V02 or 1 year high school geometry with grade
of C or better; and MATH V03 or MATH V03A-V03E or 1 year of high
school intermediate algebra (Algebra II) with grade of C or better
Hours: 3 lecture, 3 laboratory weekly
This is an introductory course in physical science. It will focus
on principles, laws and concepts in physical science related to
physics and chemistry. Students will experience hands-on science,
focusing their efforts on modeling the processes involved in scientific
reasoning and experimentation—questioning; forming a hypothesis;
testing a hypothesis through experimentation. The course will reflect
current knowledge about science teaching and concept development.
The laboratory includes an introduction to microcomputer-based
data acquisition using probes and sensors connected to physics and
chemistry apparatus. These activities are closely sequenced with
the coursework. Students will investigate motion, forces, energy,
heat and temperature, momentum, electricity, magnetism, light and
spectra, acids and alkalis, reactions and rate, and radioactivity.
Formerly PhySci 1. Transfer credit: CSU; UC; credit limitations -
see counselor.
