Learn about the created universe and how things work as you dive into a rigorous, algebra-based physics experience!  This class is designed to prepare students for college-level study in physics and develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Course Description: 

This is a college prep course in Physics. It is algebra-based but it is rigorous. The textbook is designed for non-calculus introductory college classes, high school AP Physics classes, and students preparing for the MCAT.  Each week there will be a live class recording accompanied by a pre-recorded session. This is the second part of a two-semester course. It is expected that students have completed College Preparatory Physics, Part 1: Mechanics – or have special permission from the instructor.

Students will investigate the inner workings of the universe, created by a loving and omnipotent God. The goal of the course is to build on previous knowledge of Physical Science and introductory Physics principles, to break common misconceptions, and to understand more deeply the working of the mechanical universe and how mathematics is one of the engines that drives Physics. Students will learn problem-solving strategies as they apply the laws of physics to everyday examples in their lives. Of course, students will learn that “physics is phun” as we learn what makes the universe tick!

Total class meetings: 13 live classes plus 13 pre-recorded lessons.

Duration: 60 minutes per class
