TUHSD Science Requirements:

Year 1: Physics in the Universe (introduced August 2018)
Year 2: Living Earth (coming in August 2019)
Year 3: Chemistry in the Earth System (coming in August 2020)

These courses meet the Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools, adopted by the State Board of Education in 2013.

A little bit about NGSS:

Next Generation Science Standards are a redesigned approach for K-12

science education

Emphasis on experimentation, exploration, and the ability to develop

explanations for scientific phenomena

De-emphasis on extensive lecturing and memorization

Current activity in Ph.Un. :

We are currently working in the first Ph.Un. unit, “Big Bang to the Sun.” We briefly introduced the Big Bang, then used what we learned as a starting point to begin our study on light behavior, wave properties and electromagnetic energy. Understanding how light behaves will allow us to continue our study of cosmology.
