Science Pathways Secondary: Physical Science - Physical Science Kit

• Grades: Secondary

Highlights:

Explore fundamental physics and chemistry concepts through multi-disciplinary investigation of energy, mass, momentum, and molecular structure. The secondary Physical Science Kit bridges classical mechanics and chemistry, allowing middle and high school students to analyze collision dynamics, density differences across distinct elements, and atomic bonding structures.

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

• Momentum & Energy Conservation: Investigation of kinetic energy, momentum transfer, and collision dynamics using pendulum and impact apparatuses.

• Material Properties & Mass: Comparative analysis of physical properties, mass, and density across varying elemental and synthetic materials.

• Molecular & Chemical Structure: 3D spatial modeling of covalent bonding, atomic geometry, molecular compounds, and complex carbon frameworks.
