Teaching Physics at Home

/Home/Academics (by Subjects) for Homeschool Studies/Physics for Homeschoolers/Teaching Physics for Homeschools

Because I have a science background and teach homeschool science everyone keeps asking me what we do. I have been trying to use the Classical Schooling method of teaching in a logical, orderly progression, as described in "The Well Trained Mind". The authors of that popular book are not scientists, and I find their approach to the sciences to be rather scattered, so I've been adapting as I go along.

This information is geared toward kids under age 15 or so. Once they older, they are generally either in high school or can take college science classes.

I like the idea of teaching basic physics concepts early, though I don't have much of a physics background. No matter, I've been relearning that physics class I took twenty years ago, but without the math (a lot more fun that way).
