INTEGRATED PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY ONLINE 
Integrated Physics and Chemistry is a physical science course designed for high school students needing an entry-level science course covering basic concepts found in chemistry and physics. Topics included in this study are:
  • Matter,
  • Motion and forces,
  • Work and energy,
  • Electricity and magnetism, and
  • Waves.
Throughout the course, students will have opportunities to observe simulations, investigate ideas, and solve problems–both on screen and away from the computer. 
SMART SCIENCE VIRTUAL LABS
Students will conduct their experiments in this science course using the Smart Science online lab program.  Each selected lab is designed to give the science student a consistent standard of lab experience using acceptable science principles. 

Before starting work on the first Smart Science lab in this course, students should be familiar the procedures to follow contained in the accompanying video from Smart Science. Students will come to their conclusions for experiments based upon the support of the scientific data.  No equipment or supplies to purchase for these labs which are all online.
