This course is designed to meet the requirements of the Next Generation Science Standards. The disciplinary core ideas of structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, nuclear processes, electromagnetic radiation, energy, and engineering design are integrated with extensive mathematical applications to bring relative units of study to the student. Real life correlations of chemical concepts to energy and Earth systems are embedded in various units of study. The science practices of asking questions, developing and using models, planning and carrying out investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematics and computational thinking, constructing explanations, argument from evidence, and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information are utilized throughout the year.
