This is a 16-week full-semester class that covers concepts of Physics (Algebra based). Although this is a skill-based course, to do well, learners should have studied and have a strong foundation in Algebra I. (Note: Learners may choose an 8-week track. We will meet twice a week). This class will include lecture style PowerPoint presentations, images, activities, and short experiments. After the first class, students will be provided an E-Book to following along. During class, students will have the opportunity to express themselves, solve problems with guided practice and take small assessments to measure their understanding. There will be optional homework problems with answers, reading assignments, optional unit tests and project-based assignments that learners can do to check their understanding. Learners are welcome to contact me with questions outside of class hours about the assignments and I will answer within 24 hours. Answer keys will be posted every Friday. We will not be doing full physics lab experiments with lab reports in this class. A semester grade for this class is available if requested within the first week of the course. This is fitting for students who are homeschooled or students who attend school in traditional or hybrid settings. For students who have taken Physics before, this will help them to get additional practice and assessments.
Learning Goals
