Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interactions. It is a science built on principles. If you take care to learn these principles, you should have little trouble understanding physics. Physics, more than other science courses, depends on mathematics. Students need to have completed Algebra 2 before taking Physics so they will have the mathematical tools they need.

Physics for Christian Schools is different from physics in secular schools because it presents physics as a way of learning about the Creator and His creation. This course attempts to show how physics reflects the Lord.

The 12th Grade Physics Home School Kit includes all materials needed for a complete school year for the teacher and one student. The kit includes the following items:

• Home Teacher's Edition - The Teacher Edition includes two books, the 614 page softbound Student Textbook plus a separate Teacher's book that provides the answers to the review questions and teaching notes. The Teacher's Edition includes the teaching notes and answers to the review questions. The Student Text comes with the Teacher's Edition or it can also be purchased separately if you don't need the Teacher's book. The Student Text is filled with illustrations, diagrams, and photographs. It presents information in a clear format with detailed examples and explanations.
• Student Lab Manual - The 96 page Student Lab Manual provides standard experiments as well as experiments the student designs himself; many of the experiments can be performed with minimal laboratory equipment.
• Lab Manual Teachers Edition - This 96 page, spiral bound book provides the contents of the Student Lab Manual but with answer overprints, including instructions for demonstrations to stimulate interest and reinforce concepts.
