Middle School Physics
with Jim Mueller
Ages: 11 - 13
Join Science Jim for an excellent and fun introduction to the amazing world of Physics. We will be covering Newton's Laws of Motion and much more as we run, pull, build and throw our way to a deeper understanding of a core science. The focus of the class will be to expose the students to the fact that science is happening all around them. It's not just something that takes place in labs or universities. Physics is the science of the every day. Riding bicycles, walking, playing sports, Physics is right in front of you if you know how to find it.
This class will have weekly homework as well as regular quizzes and a final exam. Part of the reason for homework and quizzes is to teach the student how to organize their study time and improve their study skills.
Geometry
with Stacy Lyerly
Ages: 13 - 18
This 1.5 hour class in Geometry explores the mathematics of shapes, space, and logical reasoning. Students study points, lines, angles, triangles, and circles, along with their properties and relationships. The course introduces formal reasoning through geometric proofs and structured arguments. Students develop spatial awareness and learn to visualize and analyze geometric figures. Connections are made between geometry and real-world applications. By the end, students strengthen both their logical thinking and mathematical understanding.
