This is one section excerpted from the High School Physics (self-paced) course.

Enrolling and working through this will allow you to sample the content, the level of difficulty and teaching style of the instructor - before making your purchase.

Here are more details about the entire course:

This course is an algebra-based college preparatory high school physics course designed for the 10th, 11th or 12th-grade high school student.

You have one year to work your way through this self-paced course:

• You set the pace through the structured lessons
• You fit them into your schedule
• There are learning checks throughout each lesson
• For lessons with experiments/labs you'll provide the materials (but I've set them up to use commonly available items - no special lab equipment needed)

This course is for students who have completed:

• algebra 1 (including the quadratic formula, adding fractions, and logarithms),
• geometry (including the Pythagorean theorem),

 And have been introduced to the trigonometry definitions of:

• sine,
• cosine,
• tangent,
• arc-sine, and
• arc-tangent

This course provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general physics, emphasizing vector analysis. It provides the student with a strong background in the classical physics topics of:

• 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional kinematics and kinetics,
• Newton’s 3 laws of motion,
• Tanslational and rotational motion,
• Uniform circular motion,
• Work-energy theorem,
• Impulse-momentum (including collisions and explosions),
• Fluid Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Oscillations/periodic motion,
• Waves (both sound and light),
• Geometric optics (lenses and mirrors),
• Electricity, and
• Magnetism

To enhance learning, experiments are also included in the course. No need for a lab kit, the experiments use commonly available and household items.

Weekly time investment: 8-10 hours (reading, homework, doing labs, preparing for tests, etc.)
