Description
Because the science of physics is an attempt to explain everything that is observed in nature, Apologia’s Live Online Physics course is an overview of the advancements in physics over the past 3,000 years! This class provides students with a foundational understanding of the concepts in physics to prepare them for college, and this course focuses on the underlying scientific laws that govern God’s Creation.
Prerequisites:
- Algebra 1
- Geometry — specifically trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem
- Chemistry (Recommended)
Course Credit: One High School Honors Science Course (w/Lab)

Course Specifics
This course is designed to supplement students’ independent study. Students are expected to read and work the problems in the textbook before coming to class. Lectures will explain concepts in the textbook, and students will be challenged to write formal laboratory reports.
This college-preparatory physics course is designed for students who have completed Algebra 1 and Geometry. Students should be comfortable manipulating an equation to solve for “x” and understand trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent) and the Pythagorean theorem prior to taking this course.
Recorded Classes
All classes are video recorded and available for students to watch later so they don’t miss any instruction.
International Students
We welcome international students from across the world. Please note that all classes are taught in the eastern time zone.
