Integrated science notes


Here are the notes from class - powerpoints or word files converted to a printer-friendly .pdf format.  

DISCLAIMER - please read!  These notes do not necessarily cover everything you are responsible for knowing this year.  You are still responsible for reading the applicable sections in the text.  I also suggest working the assessment problems at the end of each chapter we cover, as many of them require that you APPLY what you have learned, and solving them will lead to greater understanding of the material.


Specifics about Notes files

The number at the beginning of each link corresponds to the chapter in the text that covers that topic.  For chemistry and physics, the text referred to is the Prentice Hall Physical Science book.  

For Earth and space science, we will be using a separate text, and the chapter numbers will refer to that instead.  When we get to Earth and space science, the notes will also give the corresponding sections (when possible) in the Physical Science text so you have more than one source from which to study.

Since the Earth Science Unit is very visual, I AM ALSO INCLUDING LINKS TO MY NOTES IN POWERPOINT FORMAT below.  I do not necessarily recommend printing the powerpoint files - they are here primarily for viewing.  The links to the right, on the other hand, are in .pdf format (4 slides per page) for paper-saving purposes while printing.  Note that these files may be updated at any time.
