Synopsis: The academic standards for physical science outline the scientific inquiry skills and core content for all physical science classes in South Carolina schools. Each standard specifies a particular range of science topics. Following each standard is a set of indicators that state the thought processes, content knowledge, and skills that students must demonstrate in order to meet the standard. Your physical science course is designed to provide you with a conceptual understanding of the world around you. The Science Academic Standards provide a basic structure for your physical science course by specifying important content areas and process skills. The knowledge gained from your physical science course will serve as the foundation for your other high school science courses. At the end of your physical science course, you will take the state-required end-of- course examination. The end-of-course examination tests your knowledge of the academic standards for physical science. Using this book will help you master the physical science standards in preparation for the end-of-course examination.
