This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. The course discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement.

This will be an exciting and interesting science class. Students will participate in a variety of learning experiences including hands-on activities, note-taking, labs and a few projects. Students should plan to spend 3 to 3.5 hours per week in preparation for class.
