Physical Science for Educators (CID: PHYS 14)

Physical Science for Educators is designed to prepare students to teach chemistry and physics at the K – 12 grade levels with emphasis on meeting CA Public School Standards. This course is part of the natural science series for students planning to transfer to a four-year liberal studies program. Topics include physical and chemical properties of matter, motion, energy, electricity, light, atomic structure and bonding, and chemical reactions.
