Since science is such a broad subject, how do you teach a high school class on general science?

The general science classes that are commonly taught as first high school science classes for freshmen and sophomores are an extension of the junior high school science classes. General high school science classes build on the principles first introduced in the earlier junior high and elementary school courses of study. As in the younger grades, the basic principles of all of the major fields of science are further developed and expanded.

Botany, biology, physics and chemistry (the so-called physical sciences) principles are further explored. While none of those fields are explored in depth, they are developed to a point where the freshman or sophomore student who learns them is able to take and pass more advanced classes in those topics later in his high school career. From Wikipedia.Org -quote In the science curriculum, ninth grade students are required, in most areas, to take earth science.

Physical science may be taught as well in some schools. It is often a pre-requisite for most other lab sciences available at the high school level, and is often a requirement for graduation.In some cases, the upcoming ninth grader may choose to take the tenth grade course, Biology, which can also be taken in 9th grade, depending on the district. -endquote A general science class is taught in a survey format.

For example, the basic principles of electricity are explored, but not in depth. Students are often told that the topics they study are not learned in depth. It is explained to them that an in depth study of electricity will take place later in chemistry and physics class.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
