Welcome to Physical Science with Mrs. Ridenour. We use Prentice Hall Physical Science for our text. Our curriculum is based on the Washington State EALRs and Grade Level Expectations to meet those standards. This is an inquiry science classroom with lots of labs and deep thinking about science as a whole using the topics of chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy. Below are the weekly entry tasks, daily activity, and homework for the week.
