What does a rainbow have to do with physics? What about a heartbeat? As the Abeka Academy teacher explains, everything has something to do with physics and chemistry! It’s all a matter of matter—and energy! This survey course in foundational principles prepares your teen for upcoming chemistry and physics courses. Especially helpful and interesting are the 36 labs/demonstrations which bring the concepts to life as your teen and his video classmates “see things happen.” He will also learn step by step how to choose a problem, then plan, experiment, report, and present the findings of a science project. As he becomes acquainted with his classmates on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to allow “classmates watching” opportunity to participate.
The prerecorded online video streaming or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides you with a full 12 months to complete the 170 lessons, which take 40–50 minutes of viewing time each. You also have the option to purchase either the tuition and books or tuition only (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). Both options include the assessment materials, a video manual to help you stay on track with the video teacher, and record-keeping progress reports to document progress through the school year.
Abeka Academy also offers the option of Independent Study, in which you keep your teen’s academic records, or our Accredited Program. Our Accredited Program does not cost a penny more and provides official report cards, an official transcript, and free standardized testing. It also gives you the option to choose digital assessments. With either option, academic assistance is only a phone call or an e-mail away. Recommended grade 9.
