Description
Exploring Creation with Advanced Physics is designed to build on students’ foundational understanding of physics, so they must have already completed a first-year high school physics class. Using accessible diagrams, engaging content, and 23 hands-on experiments, this curriculum is crafted to help your students understand advanced physics concepts and prepare them for the ACT.
Curriculum Overview
Advanced Physics builds on your student’s foundational math and science knowledge, helping them understand and master more complex and abstract ideas like general and special relativity.
Topics covered include:
- Kinematics
- Newton’s Laws
- Energy
- Momentum
- Rotational motion
- Oscillations
- Waves
- Gravity
- Relativity
- Heat
- Thermodynamics
- Electrostatics
- Circuits
- Magnetism
- Atomic physics
- Nuclear physics
Textbook
The Exploring Creation with Advanced Physics student textbook is written in a conversational format, with the author talking directly to your student. Your student is guided through key learning strategies such as thinking critically about what they are learning, identifying important parts of the information presented, taking meaningful notes, and completing experiments.
Throughout this course, your student will connect textbook instruction with hands-on experiments for maximum learning. They will experiment with ping-pong pendulums, measure their vertical pitching speed, study adiabatic compression and expansion, measure the coefficient of kinetic friction, and much more. No special equipment is necessary.
Testing
The Exploring Creation with Advanced Physics Solutions Manual contains answers to study guide questions, tests, and test solutions.
