**The math portion of the Physical Science course involves:** 1. How to convert measurements/units 2. Simple rearranging of equations: given s=d/t, the student needs to be able to rearrange the equation and solve for distance or time as well as speed. 3. Dividing and multiplying fractions These are all things tha...
The Student Notebook is not required for Physical Science 3rd Edition. However, it is strongly recommended; the materials for the student’s science research paper are exclusive to the Student Notebook, and without it the student will not be able to complete the paper. Additionally, the Student Notebook is a great resou...
We do not recommend that your student skip this important course. Consider starting it early, in 6th grade, if your student is science oriented, or have them take this course in 8th grade. This course has been specifically designed to engage students and instruct them in how to learn, take notes, and write lab reports....
The middle school student notebooks for General Science and Physical Science are designed to teach the student how to take notes with the prompts provided.
