General Science is a yearlong laboratory course designed to give students continued experience in Physical, Earth, and Life Science. Physical science concepts covered include basic chemistry, energy, motion, acceleration, electricity, and matter. Earth science topics include space, the solar system, and basic ecology. The body systems are covered in the life science chapters. IGS offers insight into the means by which scientific knowledge is acquired and applied. This is done primarily through experimentation and problem solving. This course is designed to serve as a solid foundation for students taking later courses in Chemistry and Physics.
