Beginner Level
In this 8-week physics course for middle school students, your student will explore the exciting world of motion, energy, waves, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism. Through discussion and demonstration, you'll develop a solid foundation in physics and discover how it relates to the world around you. Join us for an engaging and fun learning experience! 1: Introduction to Physics What is physics? Basic concepts and terms in physics (motion, force, energy, etc.) The scientific method and experimental design. 2: Motion and Forces Newton's Laws of Motion Gravitational Force Friction and Air Resistance 3: Energy Forms of Energy (kinetic, potential, thermal, etc.) Conservation of Energy Energy Transformations 4: Waves Properties of Waves (frequency, wavelength, amplitude, etc.) Types of Waves (sound, light, electromagnetic) Wave Interference and Resonance 5: Sound Sound Waves and Their Properties How We Hear Sounds Applications of Sound (music, communication, etc.) 6: Electricity and Magnetism Electric Charge and Electric fields Current and Circuits Magnetism and Electromagnetism 7: Light Properties of Light Waves (reflection, refraction, diffraction, etc.) How We See Light Applications of Light (optics, photography, etc.) 8: Careers in Physics Discussion of Careers in Physics New Discoveries and Experiments Importance of Studying Physics for the Future
Learning Goals
Develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts of motion, force, energy, and waves, and be able to apply these concepts to real-world situations.
Investigate and explore the properties of light and sound, including wave behavior, color, and how light and sound interact with matter.
Understand the nature of electric and magnetic fields and how they are related to the behavior of charged particles and the properties of magnets.
Design and conduct experiments to investigate and analyze physical phenomena and use data and evidence to support scientific claims and arguments.
Communicate scientific ideas and results clearly and effectively, using appropriate scientific language and models.
Recognize the importance of science and engineering in solving real-world problems, and appreciate the role of scientific inquiry in advancing our understanding of the natural world.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Indiana Teaching Certificate in Science
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Ball State University
Welcome to my Outschool profile! I'm an enthusiastic science educator with a passion for inspiring young minds. With over a decade of teaching experience, I specialize in middle and high school sciences, including chemistry, physics, and biology.
My approach to teaching is all about making science relatable, exciting, and empowering for students. I focus not just on the facts but on teaching them how to think like scientists, solve problems, and use scientific language effectively. This builds their confidence and helps them see science as a skill they can master, opening doors to further exploration and advanced studies.
Whether you're looking for ongoing classes, one-time sessions, or semester-long courses, I offer a range of options to suit your needs. I'm also available for personalized tutoring and test preparation. If you are still looking for a time or topic that fits your schedule, feel free to reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.
Let's embark on a journey of discovery and learning together! I can't wait to share my love for science with your students. Contact me to discuss how we can make science come alive in a way that's meaningful and fun for them. See you in class!Reviews
