Middle School Physics
Description
This course ties the study of physics together with other branches of science, and serves as a bridge between middle school and high school science study.
The spine of this course starts with Khan Academy's Middle School Physics course, a comprehensive, free resource which includes videos, brief articles and online quizzes. Once this is completed, the student commences an introductory lecture series from the Great Courses which encompasses physics as well as other science topics.
This course also includes the third and last volume of The Story of Science series, about the history of science. It covers the modern period, in which physics plays a prominent role. That said, if you haven't yet covered the previous volumes, feel free to substitute those.
We round out this year's science curriculum with a selection of awe-inspiring video presentations: the updated Cosmos series, and a variety of documentaries from Curiosity Stream. Science lends itself especially well to learning via video, and we encourage you to watch as much of this material during the course as time permits.
