We will be using Exploring Creation through Physical Science SECOND EDITION by Dr. Jay L. Wile .  This course gives an introduction to such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the physics of motion, gravity, Newton’s laws, light, sound, and astrophysics. 

Parents and students will enjoy this text written in a conversational style that makes science concepts easy to understand and fun to discuss.  In class, students will participate in lively discussions of the information presented in the module and learn to apply it to the science they read about in current events.  

Emphasis will be on experimentation and observation while students perform the enumerated labs.  Lab reports and current event reporting are important routine homework assignments. Designed for students in grades 8-9.
