This semester course covers the science of physics and the principles that govern the physical world. Middle school students will learn about the laws of motion as they relate to speed, velocity, acceleration and motion in everyday activities. Hands-on experiments address the topic of mechanical energy and promote a solid understanding of the differences between potential and kinetic energies. There will be many hands-on activities for students to complete throughout the semester. The...
I have a PhD in Microbiology but soon thereafter became certified to teach because I wanted to be with kids. I have many years experience teaching middle school science including having taught 8th grade physical science, one of my favorite classes! Even in an online setting, I make my classes as hands-on, interesting, fun, and rigorous as possible.
Assignments: homework is optional and will be in the form of activities, readings, worksheets, or experiments. Source: Physical Science Workbook Packet from www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Dr-Daves-Science.
Students will need a notebook for assignments, observations, and experimental results. Occasionally students will need certain easily-obtainable materials. Students will also need to purchase a printable Physical Science workbook packet from www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Dr-Daves-Science (author Dr. David Purvis).
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
