Physics Course Details
Distance Learning courses in Physics are taught by incorporating video lessons using animation and real-world clips, modeling, computer spreadsheets, and CD-ROMs with activities that guide student learning.
| Class Links | Course Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Physics I | Physics I is a complete introductory course with an emphasis on concepts. A lab is included. |
| Honors Physics |
For students who are ready for a more intensive and mathematical physics course, but not interested in Advanced Placement. This full-year course is ideal for college prep. |
| AP Physics B | A one-year independent study course that provides students with a rigorous preparation for the AP Physics B test and the Medical College Aptitude Test. Provides full instruction on 27 CD-ROMs, with illustration of nearly every phenomenon studied. Equivalent to a year-long sophomore-level college course. Most students who have completed this course have scored 4 or 5 on the national AP Physics B exam. |

KET Virtual Physics Labs |
KET is pleased to announce the launch of the KET Virtual Physics Labs. The KVPL is currently a part of our AP Physics B course. Beginning in the fall of 2008 it will be available to all schools for use in any course. The labs are ideal for filling in holes in your lab program, but can also be used in pre-lab activities, homework and for lecture/demonstration.
