These lecture presentations were designed for my high school Integrated Physics & Chemistry class. Students of high school physical science and introductory chemistry and physics may find them useful as a supplement to their own class notes or as a review. Teachers, please feel free to use and modify them for your own classes. If you do so, I would appreciate hearing from you. Chapter and page numbers refer to the textbook: Glencoe Physical Science (c) 1999. Note: Movies and animations have been omitted to conserve space on the web server. (See required software)
