Welcome to Mrs. Sharon Goetz's Web Page


I teach physics, chemistry, physical science, geometry, and Algebra 1.


Physics is the study of matter and energy.  In this class, we study mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, and wave motion. Mathematics is an integral part of this course, so the student should be proficient in Algebra 1.  It is advisable to have taken Algebra 2 also.

Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, structure, and composition and the changes that matter undergoes.  Mathematics is an integral part of this course, so the student should be proficient in Algebra 1.

Physical science introduces important topics in chemistry and physics to ninth graders.  

Geometry introduces students to a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.  In this course, students learn the principles of logical reasoning and develop deductive reasoning skills.  Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are prerequisites.
