Because the science of physics is an attempt to explain everything that is observed in nature, this text is an overview of the advances made over the last three thousand years! When your student completes Apologia’s physics course, your student will be able to relate velocity, acceleration, time, and displacement, use mathematical equations for one-dimensional motion, understand and apply Newton’s Laws, and be able to see the strong connection between math and science.
Some of the key concepts they will learn about in this course are one and two-dimensional motion, Newton’s laws and their applications in nature, work and energy, electricity, magnetism, momentum, periodic motion, waves, and optics.
Throughout this course, your student will connect textbook instruction with hands-on experiments for maximum learning.

The class will be structured with reading and test taking completed at home. Classroom time at co-op will be utilized for the hands-on experiments and activities with occasional short videos and other supplementary presentation material.
