$165 payment and Mr. Elder’s physics course registration form is due at registration or by August 1st to hold the student’s place in the class.  This payment is non-refundable after August 1st.  The remaining $585 can be paid out over 9 months at $65 per month (September through May).

Note: Tuition can be paid in full $750/year at registration if desired or split as described above.  Withdrawal fee after 9/15/26 is 3 months of tuition.

Physics is a comprehensive fast-paced, advanced, honors study of God’s physical creation where we will be using laboratory exercises, modeling, and projects that will build a mathematical and conceptual feel for physics.  In this course we will be primarily covering first year advanced physics concepts such as kinematics, projectile motion, dynamics, circular motion, rotation, momentum, & energy. We will also explore concepts in thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism, and modern physics.

Physics is a full lecture and laboratory course, including testing and weekly homework assignments, that will earn 1 high school advanced honors science credit.  The class meets once weekly for 3 hours.

Laboratory exercises hone skills in deduction, reasoning, and problem solving, allowing the student to develop a deeper intellectual approach to their study of science.  Experiments, projects, and accompanying calculations and analysis will allow the students to see physics in action in their everyday lives.

Pre-Requisites: The study of Physics requires a solid understanding of high school math.  Students should have successfully completed Geometry, Algebra I, and Algebra II before attempting this class.  The student should also be enrolled in Pre-Calculus, as much of the problem solving will require an understanding of trigonometry.

Homework:      1-1.5 hrs/day

Textbook:    Bob Jones, Physical Science 4th Ed. Physics 

Only the student textbook is to be purchased. You must bring your textbook to the first day of class.
