    Description
    This is a one semester, inquiry-based physical science course suitable for satisfying the general education requirements of non-science majors and especially of students who aspire to become elementary school teachers. Students construct a meaningful understanding of physics and chemistry concepts through lecture and laboratory activities. The course covers: matter, physical and chemical properties, energy, motion, light, atomic structure, bonding, solutions and chemical reactions. The inter-dependence of chemistry and physics, their applications in everyday life, and the power and limitations of scientific inquiry will be emphasized. Not open to student who already have credit for PHYS 4 .
