Everything you need to run the course.
A course pack is more than a syllabus. It contains the full set of materials a guide, parent, or micro-school operator uses to teach Physics well. Print the checklists, lean on the rubrics to keep the bar consistent, and never let a student start a run without the setup and safety list.
Student lessons, datasets, and public practice answers (not assessment keys)
Each existing unit now includes assigned reading sections, teaching explanations, supplied data, foundation/core/honors tasks, checked public practice answers (not assessment keys), and a transfer question. Choose the level before instruction. Use the web unit for student lessons and the separate printable packet for assessment.
- Unit 01: Kinematics
- Unit 02: Dynamics & Newton’s Laws
- Unit 03: Circular Motion & Gravitation
- Unit 04: Energy & Work
- Unit 05: Momentum & Collisions
- Unit 06: Simple Harmonic Motion
- Unit 07: Torque & Rotational Motion
- Unit 08: Fluids & Pressure
Each dataset declares whether it contains observed, rounded reference, reconstructed, or synthetic information; check its source and limitations. Complete the practical observation requirements with approved supervision or stated alternatives; the learning pages do not certify laboratory safety or course credit.
For the student
Retrieval, spaced practice, and the non-negotiable habit of working problems by hand rather than rereading worked examples.
A one-page planner that schedules retrieval and daily problem sets around the two-day Concept Day / Experiment Day rhythm.
Goggles, secured masses, clear runways, calibrated timers — the safety, setup, and readiness list every student runs before an Experiment Day.
How to structure a physics entry — data tables with units and significant figures, motion graphs, calculations, and error analysis. The artifact students defend all year.
For the guide & parent
A no-sign-up walk through a real week of Kinematics, a rubric, a notebook page, and a demonstration — the actual materials in this pack.
A plain-language walkthrough for students and parents: the rhythm, the three demonstrations, and how mastery works.
Running more than one cohort: pacing, shared lab days, apparatus prep, and keeping apparatus defenses manageable.
Tracks, carts, photogate timers, spring scales, masses, and safety gear — what to buy and roughly what it costs.
All print-ready packets are arranged in binder order, ready to print for a three-ring binder.
Reference
The vocabulary, symbols, and units that unlock the whole course — from displacement to momentum to torque.
Common misconceptions (that heavier objects fall faster, that motion needs a force) and how to address each one.
Where the reading lives: OpenStax College Physics, CK-12, and books worth owning. The text sits underneath the bench.
The method, made operable
Mastery, not points: the three levels, why "not yet" recovers, and how it becomes a grade.
Mastery and integration tell a student they can and where it connects. Wonder tells them why they'd bother.
A loop, not a line: falsification, the "No" branch, and recording what you measure. Learn why these practices matter in a real lab.
One per unit, plus the three demonstration rubrics. The shared bar for "mastered."
Encouraged vs. off-limits, plus a curated prompt library for studying physics with AI honestly.
The cross-domain playbook, connecting kinematics, forces, and energy into one worked example — Galileo’s inclined plane.
Original investigation designs and evidence records and current AP topic mapping with explicit limits. Public practice is not performed-lab evidence or a secure assessment.
