Focus on Elementary Physics (Pre-Level 1) (Grades K-4)

Each week and your child will see how physics relates to everyday life and more. Your child will read about What is Physics? and be introduced to the concepts of: force, work and energy; stored energy; moving energy; inertia, friction; mass; chemical energy electricity, moving electrons; magnets; light and sound; and saving energy. To reinforce their learning, students will complete 10 hands-on experiments Elementary students will focus on making good observations and recording information through drawing and writing.

Interact with teacher LIVE (real-time) : Video/ Audio chat, text chat, LIVE whiteboard sharing and LIVE document sharing.
