'Less Than Perfect' Fundamentals of Physics Lab Manual

The homeschool physics lab book to accompany Fundamentals of Physics with 19 activities to investigate key principles learned in the course textbook. Available at a discount due to minor cosmetic blemish(es).

Science Shepherd's Fundamentals of Physics for homeschool is written by Dr. Scott Hardin. The comprehensive course integrates textbook, video lessons and labs to prepare students for high school science in the areas of scientific measurement, the three states of matter, Newton’s Laws, radioactive physics and more. A critical discussion of physics within a biblical worldview is also included. Fundamentals of Physics encourages independent study, and with the supplementary teacher information provided in the Answer Key & Parent Companion, parents can be involved in their student's learning without needing to be a physics expert.
