Looking for a High School Physics class beginning in September? I will be teaching a course at a home in Cary on Wednesday mornings (near W. Main & Cary Rds.). Class will be 90 minutes each week for 30 weeks.
To register, contact LoriAnneStanger@comcast.net For questions on the class, contact me, Kathy, kwentz899261@gmail.com
Conceptual Physics is both a terrific first high school science class or one later in the sequence. This class will be based on Conceptual Physics: The High School Physics Program by Paul Hewitt (the 2002 edition is still pretty current and much more affordable!). This class will cover the topics covered in the text using discussion, problem sets and experimentation. Homework will be assigned, including lab reports. Care will be taken throughout the course to discuss related current events and new scientific theories and discoveries.
Please note the following:
We will not take up our limited class time administering and correcting quizzes and tests. I will provide them and I encourage families to administer them at home using an 'open book' format.
Experiments listed in the book will occasionally differ from those offered through thisclass as the equipment I have may differ.
Prerequisites: Students should be taking or have passed Algebra I, be able to read and understand a high school level text, be willing to commit to several hours of homework each week, and be able to work cooperatively and safely in a lab situation with other students.
Students are required to have a good scientific or graphing calculator. I recommend one that they can also use on the ACT and/or SAT ? the guidelines for which can be found on collegeboard.org
Cost for 30 weeks of 1 1/2 hr. classes is $300.
