PHSX 105 — Fundamentals of Physical Science w/Lab
This course is an introduction to the fundamental behavior of energy and matter. It is divided into two sections: physics and chemistry. Topics discussed in the physics portion include: scientific measurement; motion; work and energy; heat and temperature; and waves (including sound and light). Topics discussed in the chemistry portion include: atomic structure; the periodic table of elements; chemical bonding and nomenclature; chemical formulas and equations; and solutions. Several lab experiments relating to some of these topics will be performed. No prior work in physics or chemistry is assumed for this course, although in order to have the greatest success in this course, it is highly recommended that students possess strong algebra skills.
