Teacher : Fibi Farid

I. Course description
This course encompasses three fundamental branches of science:
Physical Science: Students learn about matter and what it is composed of as well as it’s
physical and chemical properties. Students also learn about the structure of chemicals and how
they depend on upon the structures of atoms and their interaction with one another. They also
learn about the flow of energy through systems, motion, forces, gravity and friction.

Earth Science: Students know that Earth’s plates and rocks interact to produce predictable
changes to the
surface of Earth. They learn that there are a large number of observable systems and that
dramatic change occurs when different combinations of factors interact within each system.
Students get introduced to the mechanisms of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes
and tsunamis.

Life Science: Students learn that all living things start as a single cell and exhibit predictable
patterns of change as they grow and develop. They learn to differentiate between the different
types of cells. They also study the different types of interactions between living things and their
environment. They learn that resources are necessary for humans to meet their needs and that
they have both positive and negative effects on these natural resources.
