| Mr. Vandercook's Classes at Bethel Christian School |
| Physical Science 9th Grade The first semester is an introduction to chemistry. We will study the nature of the atom and how it changes in chemical reactions. An emphasis will be placed on chemicals encountered in our daily life and common chemical reactions. Each chapter will include demonstrations and student experiments to help reinforce theoretical concepts. The second semester is an introduction to physics. The topics covered will include mechanics, light, sound and electricity. Chemistry 11th Grade This course reviews the concepts learned in the 9th grade intro chem. class and expands the level of learning by including mathematical relationships in chemical reactions. There is a greater emphasis on theory in this course than in the freshman chemistry. Physics 12th Grade This course covers the materials specified by the California State Standards. The first semester is mostly mechanics. Energy, waves, light, sound, electricity and magnetism. Applied Science 11th and 12th Grades The applied science course is a non-technical alternative to physics. It is considered an elective by the UC system. It includes a wide variety of science topics and many hands-on experiments. The first quarter is primarily environmental science. The second quarter will cover the physics of motion and mechanical energy. The third quarter will cover pressure, waves and sound. The last quarter will cover electricity and magnetism. Bible 12 In this class we will study the Bible from Creation to Christ. We will use findings from archeology, supplemental materials from the Internet and other sources to show God's hand in the development of history. Students will build an electronic portfolio of class materials and create a Power Point presentation of one segment of the time-line. Algebra 2 In this class we will briefly review the basic concepts of algebra. We will cover linear equations and functions, polynomials, rational expressions, irrational functions, quadratic equations and functions, analytic geometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series, and basic trigonometry. |
