Physical science is an introduction to the topics of both chemistry and physics, and introduces some Earth science topics as well. Content knowledge students will learn includes atoms, elements, the periodic table, chemical bonds and compounds, nuclear chemistry, states of matter, forces, motion, energy, work, heat, waves, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, climate and weather, and astronomy.
