Introduction to Physics & Chemistry (IPC)
In this class students will be learning core concepts of Physics and Chemistry. Students will use laboratory explorations, simulations, research, discussion and inquiry to explore how concepts of physical science (physics and chemistry) apply to both natural and human-made phenomena (unique events), as well as everyday life. Students will learn how to think and act like scientists in order to understand how objects interact, what substances are made of, how the natural world works, and how we use this knowledge to innovate and solve real world problems. Science is an activity-based experience. We will combine inquiry and class activities, texts, visuals and research to help us learn the big concepts of physical science. Our units will focus on forces and motion, properties of matter, chemical reactions, conservation of mass and energy, and energy transfer. We will work collaboratively to collect and analyze data and use this evidence to support explanations of each event. <Link to Class Syllabus>.
CWU Geology
This is an introduction to geology emphasizing the origin and nature of the common rocks, plate tectonic theory, earthquakes, volcanoes and geologic time. <Link to Class Syllabus>.
College in the High School (CiHS) is a dual credit program that allows students to earn college credits while still attending high school. Grades earned will be entered on a high school transcript as well as on a Central Washington University transcript. College in the High School students are able to access college resources such as the library, online academic tutoring and speaking with an advisor, just as any other CWU on-campus student.
