Getting Started with Red Wagon Physics for High School Homeschool Course

This physics course is taught through online pre-recorded videos. Text instructions along with additional videos, experiments, and online reading provide students with an understanding of velocity, acceleration, and displacement. They are taught how to understand and apply Newton’s Laws. They will also be shown how physics and math are connected. It is recommended the student complete algebra 1 and geometry and be familiar with sine, cosine, and tangent, as the later chapters include higher level math.

Red Wagon Physics for High School is currently available on the lessons page in two different presentations: General and Honors. Each has its own Student Materials Notebook and links to its own Parent Test Manual. Be sure to read the “How to Use this Course” document for more information.
