Foundational Physical Science: Introduction to Matter and Energy

Do you want to understand how the physical world around you operates, from the smallest atoms to the largest forces? Physical Science provides the essential framework for understanding all natural processes and technology. This course guides you through the fundamental concepts of physical science, ensuring you grasp the core principles of matter, energy, and motion. By the end, you will be able to read and interpret scientific explanations and apply basic physical laws to real-world scenarios. What you'll learn: * Understand the states and properties of matter and how they relate to the structure of the periodic table. * Master the foundational laws of classical mechanics, including motion, force, and the conservation of energy. * Learn the principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and energy transformations. * Apply basic concepts of electricity, magnetism, and wave phenomena such as light and sound. * Practice interpreting chemical reactions and balancing simple molecular equations. * Configure atomic structure models and understand the role of fundamental forces in chemical bonding. The course begins by defining key terminology, units of measurement, and the scientific method before moving into the core principles of motion and energy. It then transitions to exploring the composition of matter, chemical bonding, and fundamental chemical reactions. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior background in science or mathematics beyond basic arithmetic. Start building your foundational knowledge of the physical world today.
