🌟Enroll at any time🌟 This course will cover the High School NGSS Physical Science Standards in a hands-on and engaging way! Real-world problems, situations, and problem-based learning will drive student inquiry throughout this course. Students will have multiple opportunities to interact with other students and the instructor throughout this course in order to get the most out of their online experience. Students will meet for a live meeting once a week for instruction, demonstrations, group work, and experiments. Students will use Nearpod to engage throughout the entire lesson. Students will receive homework after each class. Students who are already taking Physics can enroll for additional support and practice. Homeschooled students can enroll in a complete High School Physics curriculum.
Learning Goals
Students will master the NGSS High School Physics Standards.
