Focus on Elementary Physics (Pre-Level 1) (Grades K-4)
An introduction to the wonderful world of Physics (energy and movements)
Self paced
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.
