Description

Class Experience

This is a 16 week full-semester class that covers concepts in High School Physics. Although technically Part 1 and Part 2 can be taken in any order, I will be integrating previous concepts into later classes so that learners are able to see how concepts relate to each other and learn to solve problems by synthesizing together information from different concepts.  To succeed in the course, learners should have solid Algebra 1 skills.

Images, activities, and short experiments will help...

Students will gain a solid understanding in the concepts of physics listed above and will learn to solve problems relating to those concepts.

I have a B.S. in Chemistry from MIT and a M.S. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley.  I have taken college level Physics 1 and 2.  I have taught physics at the college level as part of an interdisciplinary course for non-science majors, and I have tutored students with differentiated learning abilities in physics at the college level as well as at the high school level.

Students will be provided with an e-book after the first class as well as optional homework problems and answers.  Should students choose to do the reading, it will be approximately 10-15 pages for each class.  Each homework assignment should take the student 1-3 hours.

Learners will need a calculator for working through certain problems in class.  A cell phone calculator should suffice and learners should be able to find an appropriate free online calculator as well.  Learners will be provided with an e-book as well as worksheets and optional homework problems with answers after the first class.  Three times throughout the term learners will be provided with optional tests with answers to check their understanding of the topics.

Optional tests with answers will be provided three times each class so that learners can check their understanding of the concepts.  To request a letter grade for a learner, the learner's parent or guardian should contact me during the first week of class to discuss.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

Learners will be provided with an e-book after the first class as well as a packet that contains worksheets for each class and optional homework assignments with answers.

About Me

Hello!  I have always loved learning, and when I was small I would often request that my mother play school with me.  From there I graduated to playing teacher; I would invent imaginary students and assignments for them which I then graded with...
