Physical Science Digital Resources (Centripetal)
- Course Overview/Recommendations for Teaching – Describes the details of teaching the course including suggestions for pacing, organization, assessments, grading and more.
- Quiz Bank – Quizzes in MS Word format intended for weekly administration. All are mastery-oriented, rehearsing some material and skills from previous chapters in an organized fashion, according to the Weekly Review Guides. Quizzes are one page of typically 3-4 questions and can be administered in 15-20 minutes.
- Quiz Keys – PDF files of solutions to the computational sections of each quiz.
- Semester Exams – Fall and Spring semester exams in MS Word format.
- All Answer Keys – All answers to chapter exercises, quizzes, and semester exams in one document.
- Experiment Manual - There is no separate manual to purchase for access to the 12 experiments. Lab equipment for the experiments can be found at school lab supply vendors. Note: Physical Science also calls for the use of a series of "widgets" in the Special Parts Kit to assist with some experiments. Schematics are included in the digital resources so customers can fashion the widgets themselves from wood and metal available at any hardware store.
- Weekly Review Guides – MS Word formatted files to copy and distribute to students. This is a critical tool for enabling student success in a mastery education context. Each guide includes student review tasks and review computations with answer key.
- Lesson List and Sample Calendar – A list of lessons (one per day) describing what to do each day (pages to read, exercises to do, experiment and assessment dates).
