A Physics Course for the Whole Family
The course is available as a recorded, self-paced course. At a pace of 3 lessons per week, the course will last one semester.
Each lesson comes with printable notes pages and practice problems designed to reinforce the ideas of each lesson.
We recommend watching the lesson with a printed copy of the notes. Encourage your student to use the printable poll questions or simply answer the questions out loud. Use the answer key to evaluate what they learned afterward, or, if they are a self-directed learner, they can use it themselves to double-check their learning.
In Physics 2, we cover electromagnetism, waves, fluids, and thermodynamics.

Meagan parent and college professor
The doodle notes were excellent, and provided a good introduction for my daughter to guided note-taking. We would 100% recommend these courses.
-Rachel Wilkenfeld homeshool parent
Yours was my 13 year old's favorite class! The guided notes were fun and engaging, and I was amazed at how much material he learned and retained.
