Back to School Physics
In this 4 week course we will have a broad outline in physics with particular emphasis on kinematic, force, and momentum equations. This class overlaps with Physics 1 which is more in-depth.

This class will be a high school physics class covering kinematics, forces, and momentum. The class will be structured with 3 classes each week for 50 minutes a period. There will be some presentation, some problem solving and practice, My teaching style flexible with a mix of instruction, independent practice, examples, videos, and discussion Students will interact with me as much as possible. There will be some direct instruction, some discussion, some math practice Students should at least have some 6th grade math skills. Skills such as multiplication, division, fractions, proportions, powers, square roots, single variable equations, and 6th grade reading skills.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the scientific method, calculation, models, and basic physics.Dimensional Analysis
