This laboratory-based high school physics course is the first physics course a college-bound student should take. It gives the student an introduction to the basics, such as Newton’s Laws of Motion, Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, work, energy, and power, waves, sound, and light,  electrical potential, electric fields, circuits, resistance, and current, magnetism, and magnetic fields.

The course consists of 180 hours of instruction, 35 of which involve hands-on experiments using household or easy to obtain items (no purchased kit required). The experiments include measuring the acceleration due to gravity, making a one-dimensional Newton’s Cradle, making simple circuits, and making an electromagnet.

Let your student dive into a solid introductory physics course presented by a university professor in a conversational tone offering plenty of practical applications and experiments to perform right at home. And remember, if they get stuck, we’re available to answer questions and provide feedback throughout the course.
