This science course connects everyday observations and experiences to the science that causes them. Through physical science, students will learn how everything they do relates to chemistry and physics.  In the chemistry chapters, they will see the wonder in how matter and energy interact and how matter makes up our world.  In the physics chapters, they will see how and why things move.  This is a quest to understand matter and energy that God has created.

• IPC is the foundational, honors physical science course that prepares students for upper-level high school science studies (Biology / Chemistry / Physics).
• It is required that the student take Algebra 1 either before or concurrently to be prepared for the calculations in the Physics portion of the course.
• IPC is a full lecture and lab course including testing that will earn 1 high school honors credit in science.
• Laboratory exercises hone skills in deduction, reasoning, and problem-solving, allowing the student to develop critical thinking as they approach the study of science.
• There are two major projects assigned:
  • The fall project is a guided research paper on a famous scientist.
  • The spring project is a science project demonstrating an IPC concept covered during the year.
