| Course Title: Technical Science | Credits: 2 credits |
| Number: 10-806-106 | Prerequisites: None |
| Description: Technical Science is divided into three units: 1. Scientific Tools and Methods, 2. Introduction to Chemistry, 3. Introduction to Physics. In unit 1, students convert measurements, design tables and graphs, create models, and use the scientific method. In unit 2, students interpret a model of the atom and use the periodic table. They distinguish physical, chemical, and nuclear changes and identify properties of common compounds. They analyze chemical equations and relate technical applications to chemical properties. In unit 3, students determine the effect of force on linear motion, analyze various physical phenomena, and analyze the various forms of energy. | |
