Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interactions. It is a science built on principles. If you take care to learn these principles, you should have little trouble understanding physics. Physics, more than other science courses, depends on mathematics. Students need to have completed Algebra 2 before taking Physics so they will have the mathematical tools they need.
Physics for Christian Schools is different from physics in secular schools because it presents physics as a way of learning about the Creator and His creation. This course attempts to show how physics reflects the Lord.
