Save $40 when you use code DANLEYSAVE40 until Mar 25, 2025.

A grade for the class is available if requested.  Requirements for a grade are to complete all three tests and 6 of the Labs/Projects of the learner’s choosing. 

REFUND POLICY: Full refund until 12 hours after the first class meeting (6 hours in the summer).  

This is a 16 week full-semester class that covers concepts in High School Physics. Although technically Part 1 and Part 2 can be taken in any order, I will be integrating previous concepts into later classes so that learners are able to see how concepts relate to each other and learn to solve problems by synthesizing together information from different concepts.  To succeed in the course, learners should have solid Algebra 1 skills.

Images, activities, and short experiments will help solidify the concepts in class.  During class I will teach by the Socratic method as much as possible while going over concepts and solving problems.  Toward the end of each class we will do a worksheet with problems and short answer questions together to help students master the topics for that class.  Also provided are optional homework problems with answers, reading assignments, and project-based assignments that learners can do at home as well as three optional tests with answers so learners can check their understanding.
