Exploring Creation w/ Physics Textbook 2nd Edition
Description
It provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general physics, heavily emphasizing vector analysis; this text is ideal preparation for a university-level physics course. It provides the student with a strong background in one-dimensional and two-dimensional motion, Newton's laws and their application, gravity, work and energy, momentum, periodic motion, waves, optics, electrostatics, electrodynamics, electrical circuits, and magnetism.
Exploring Creation with Physics from Apologia is a college-preparatory high school physics course designed to make physics accessible and engaging for homeschool students. Written by Dr. Jay Wile, this course explains complex concepts in clear, understandable terms while maintaining a strong biblical worldview that presents science as a testimony to God’s creation.
The course emphasizes hands-on learning with experiments that primarily use common household items, eliminating the need for expensive lab equipment.
