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 and have already the first semester of Physics. 

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 week. 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. 


The course schedule will include the following:

Unit 1- Momentum
Week 1: Linear Momentum, Force, and Impulse
Week 2: Conservation of Momentum
Week 3: Elastic and Inelastic Collisions

Unit 2- Work, Energy, and Simple Machines
Week 4: Work, Power, and the Work - Energy Theorem
Week 5: Mechanical Energy and Conservation of Energy
Week 6: Simple Machines

Unit 3- Waves and Their Properties
Week 7: Types of Waves 
Week 8: Wave Properties: Speed, Amplitude, Frequency, and Period
Week 9: Wave Interaction: Superposition and Interference

Unit 4 - Sound
Week 10: Speed of Sound, Frequency, and Wavelength
Week 11: Sound Intensity and Sound Level
Week 12: Doppler Effect and Sonic Booms 


Unit 5- Light and Mirrors
Week 13: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Week 14: The Behavior of Electromagnetic Radiation

Unit 6: Static Electricity 
Week 15: Electric Charges, Conservation of Charge, and Transfer of Charge
Week 16: Coulomb's Law

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.
