Here you can experience most of the 1st unit of the Physics4Homeschool curriculum. As you will see below, every unit in the curriculum is fully outlined so that it's easy to know exactly what assignments should be done each day to pace yourself through the course. Each and every question is thoroughly explained in videos that follow each assignment. In the sample below, I have created hyperlinks for you to download (and print) the assignments, view the answer keys and watch the videos.

Here's a word of warning! You have access to many of the answer keys (but not the tests). For example, in Day 3's lesson plan you will find the answer key for Day 2's assignments. While working on Day 2's assignments do not prematurely consult the answer keys found in Day 3. You need to struggle a bit! Of course, AFTER struggling if you cannot figure out a particular question feel free to look ahead to the answer key or video for a bit of help. But don't take shortcuts! You know what I mean :)
