At this time, three Physics Curricula are being evaluated for use in 2023/2024. A final decision will be made by June 10, 2023.
Options include:
Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt, 12th Edition, paperback. Available on Amazon $31
Homeschool Physics from Sterling Education, 3rd Edition, paperback Available here at Amazon, $35
High School Physics, also from Sterling Education, 3rd Edition, paperback Available here at Amazon, $30
At this time, email inquiries have been sent to the publishers to ask specific questions about:
the differences between additions, specific data on the included material, the level of work expected to be independent for the student versus instructor-led, and a few other important pieces of information.
Once the curriculum has been chosen the course description will be solidified and published. The goal is a balanced course that teaches the subject well, incorporating both student independence and instructor knowledge.
The course is considered an introductory program, and curriculum will be selected appropriately. Understanding or completion of Algebra 1 is required for success in Introductory Physics. Students will need a notebook, scientific calculator, and note taking materials.
Conceptual Physics is part of the High School program.
