Wow, I am glad you found that out. I guess when high school comes around, I will have to keep looking for a secular physics course. I have time, though, for that one since the boys just turned 12!</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/kinetic-books-physics#post-22137 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:25:20 +0000 Bookworm 22137@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>Well, we ended up not going with the Kinetic program.&nbsp; Dh looked at several things to compare at our convention this year and decided on Apologia again--we are familiar with it, and there are teacher answers.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; So we decided not to be brave and try the new thing.&nbsp; I had emailed the Kinetic people, and they told me the course was designed for use by a physics teacher--not a mom who'd never even had physics herself, so.&nbsp; They recommended against using it that way.&nbsp;</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/kinetic-books-physics#post-22107 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:24:24 +0000 Cindy K 22107@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>I am very intrigued by the program as well. I have heard of good things about their Algrebra 1 course and was recently checking out their Conceptual Physics course to see if it would be OK to use for 7th grade. But I did find something on their web site that said this course would be a little harder than Paul G. Hewitt's Conceptual Physics course, so I opted to not do it at such a young age.</p> <p>I would love to hear what others have to say about it, too!</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/kinetic-books-physics#post-20504 Wed, 19 May 2010 18:40:37 +0000 Bookworm 20504@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>Has anyone here seen or tried the physics programs from Kinetic Books?&nbsp; We are intrigued here, but are wondering if I'll be able to assess his progress (I've never taken physics myself)&nbsp; We are looking at the Principles of Physics and Virtual Labs at this site:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.kineticbooks.com/">http://www.kineticbooks.com/</a>&nbsp;and we'd probably accompany it with some in-home phsysics experiment books as well.&nbsp;</p>
