Topics covered include motion, gravity, energy, and momentum.
The theory of relativity is introduced. Covers matter in its three states, kinetic-molecular models, and the laws of thermodynamics. A number of activities are designed to help students find patterns and study the relationships among variables in a given experiment. They will set up experiments, record, and analyze the data.
