Featuring expert video instruction, video labs, video solutions, and Q&A email support, our self-paced course provides a 21st Century science education from a distinctly biblical perspective.

Course Description

Integrated Physics and Chemistry is an introductory chemistry and physics course that is designed to spark interest while building a firm foundation for advanced science courses. Topics include Science and Christianity, measurement of matter, atoms, the Periodic Table, nuclear chemistry, chemical bonds and reactions, acids and bases, Newton’s laws, work and simple machines, gases and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and light. Based on the scientific method, the video labs have many fun, engaging activities that draw students in and inspire them to learn more.

Upon completion of DIVE IPC, students will be adept at working with the scientific method, developing lab skills that are above and beyond most of their peers. They will understand the importance of the energy sources used to power our world. Most importantly, students will have a better understanding of the laws God has woven into Creation. They will gain an appreciation for the rich Christian heritage that exists in science.With special emphasis on men like Isaac Newton and Michael Faraday, students will understand the importance of studying His Word and His Works as they seek to become good stewards of His creation.

Previously called Physical Science, colleges have renamed this requirement Integrated Physics and Chemistry making it clear that the course should have one semester of introductory chemistry and one semester of introductory physics. Because most of the biological processes learned in biology are driven by chemical reactions, a firm grasp of chemistry is essential to understanding biology. DIVE ICP meets these new requirements.
