2016.17 Physical Science, Quarter 2
Big Ideas/Key Concepts:
 Objects move in ways that can be observed, described, predicted, and measured.
 Everything in the universe exerts a gravitational force on everything else; there is interplay between magnetic fields and electrical currents.
 Various forms of energy are constantly being transformed into other types without any net loss of energy from the system.
