Accessible to all, thirty challenging lessons present the basic concepts of physics, including motion, electricity, magnetism, and matter. Featuring conversational, accessible lessons that can be used with students in multiple grades, this easy-to-use homeschool curriculum will give children knowledge of scientific principles that they can bring to bear when they reach the advanced sciences!
Units and lessons follow a consistent format. Units begin with a short introduction that provides objectives, vocabulary, and materials needed; a coloring page and a unit 'wrap-up' multiple-choice assessment are also included.
