The document provides an overview of a physical science class. It discusses what physical science is, which includes the study of physics, chemistry, astronomy and related subjects. It notes that students have previously learned tools, rules and techniques for finding order in physical surroundings, often through patterns and relationships expressed as equations. It introduces the topic of motion, which has captured human attention for thousands of years, and discusses how ancient and classical Greek ideas about motion evolved until modern understandings developed through Galileo and Newton.

1. Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father
Grant me each day the desire to do my best,
To grow mentally and morally as well as physically,
To be kind and helpful to my classmates and teachers,
To be honest with myself as well as with others,
Help me to be a good sport and smile when I lose as well as when I
win,
Teach me the value of true friendship
Help me always to conduct myself so as to bring credit to my school.
Amen

2. Good Morning Class!

4. OVERVIEW

5. What is PHYSICAL SCIENCE?
the sciences concerned with the
study of inanimate natural objects,
including physics, chemistry,
astronomy, and related subjects.

6. In your elementary and high school
you learned some “tools, rules &
techniques” for finding order in
your physical surroundings.

7. Order is often found in the form of
PATTERNS, or RELATIONSHIPS
between quantities that are
expressed as equations.

8. Recall that equation can be used to
1. Describe properties
2. Define concepts
3. Describe how quantities change
relative to one another.

9. In all three uses, patterns are
quantified, conceptualized, and
used to gain a general
understanding about what is
happening in nature.

10. In the study of Physical Science,
Certain parts of nature are often
considered and studied together
for convenience.

11. One of the more obvious groupings
involves movement.

12. Most objects around you spend a
great deal of time sitting quietly
without motion.
For example:

15. Utility poles

17. Even things that do move from
time to time sit still for a great deal
of time.
This includes:

21. On the other hand, the

25. Seem to always move, never
standing still.

26. Why do things stand still?
Why do things move?

27. Questions about motion have
captured the attention of people
for thousand of years.

28. But the ancient people answered
questions about motion with
stories of mysticism and spirits that
live in objects.

29. It was during the classic Greek
Culture, between 600 B.C and 300
B.C., that people began to look
beyond magic and spirits.

30. One particular Greek philosopher,
Aristotle wrote a theory about the
universe that offered not only
explanations about things such as
motion but also a sense of beauty,
order & perfection.

31. The theory seemed to fit with
other ideas that people had and
was held to correct for nearly 2000
years after it was written.

32. It was not after the work of Galileo
and Newton during the 1600’s that
a new, correct understanding
about motion was developed.

33. The Development of ideas about
MOTION is an amazing and
absorbing story.

34. You will learn in this subject
1. How to describe and use some properties
of motion,
-this will provide some basic understanding
about motion and will be very helpful in
understanding some important aspects of
astronomy and the earth sciences, as well as
the movement of living things.
