Congratulations on completing the first half of the physics4kids curriculum. In the fall, we had a fun journey together. Through labs and demos, together we observed, proposed questions, carried on experiments, collected data and arrived our own conclusion. As planed, we studied Newtonian Mechanics which focuses on forces, kinematics of motion (velocity and acceleration), gravity, simple machines, momentum, mechanical energies, etc.
We will continue this journey to the second semester of physics which extends to multi scale objects and their behaviors.
Solids
Liquids
Heat and Temperature
Vibrations and Waves
Electricity
Current and Circuit
Electromagnetic Induction
Light
Colors
Special Topics
Each class will include multiple teacher demo and 2~3 hand-on activities to help students to connect the concepts with applications. For this age group, measurements and conceptual understanding is the main focus. Manipulation of equations and variables are optional. Weekly homework is assigned but also is optional. Inquiry-based experimental methods will be used.
