Physical Science Course Description Physical Science is a course that explores the relationship between matter and energy. Students should learn Physical Science through the process of inquiry. Hands-on laboratory investigations, individual studies, and group activities should constitute a major portion of the learning experience. Using available technology, students will investigate forces and motion, the chemical and physical properties of matter, the ways in which matter and energy interact within the natural world, and the forms and properties of energy.
