L11-12RST9:
Students will report their findings from their investigations
with other student groups.
Throughout this course, students will be taught math concepts (significant figures, metric system, trig functions, dimensional analysis, etc.) and
expected to use them appropriately within each topic.
Throughout this course, the characteristics of science standards will be incorporated in the lab activities for each topic.
Throughout this course, the topics will be assessed through a variety of methods, including pre-tests, unit tests, lab quizzes, and performancebased assessment.
