Integrated Science Gregory Hepner

This is a nine-week physics module to be incorporated into an yearlong integrated science course. It begins with an introduction to physics, scientific method, and metric system. It continues through the concepts of velocity, acceleration, Newton's laws, work, energy, power, momentum, and collisions. The unit ends with an introduction to simple harmonic motion and the properties of waves. There are four laboratory experiments which cover the major concepts presented in the text. It also contains Internet resources at the end of each chapter.
