Physical Science Credit Recovery (CR)
Cost: $199 per semester
Prerequisites: Previously failed the course
Length: Two semesters (8 weeks each)
Required Course Materials: None
Semesters 1 and 2: Optional
- This course includes the option of either hands-on or dry lab activities. No materials are required for dry lab activities. Hands-on labs require specified materials. For a list of hands-on lab materials, go to http://support.apexlearning.com/materials
Course Description: Market Square Education’s Physical Science Credit Recovery online course features pretests at the beginning of each unit, allowing students to test out of mastered concepts and instead focus where they need the most support. Credit Recovery eliminates teacher scored work with the exception of teacher scored tests at the end of each unit. Passing score is 70% or greater with the completion of all unit tests. Students will not pass without completing all tests.
Physical Science offers a focused curriculum designed around the understanding of critical physical science concepts, including the nature and structure of matter, the characteristics of energy, and the mastery of critical scientific skills.
Course topics include an introduction to kinematics, including gravity and two-dimensional motion; force; momentum; waves; electricity; atoms; the periodic table of elements; molecular bonding; chemical reactivity; gases; and an introduction to nuclear energy. Teacher-scored labs encourage students to apply the scientific method.
This course is built to state standards and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) standards.
