Quick Overview

The Summit Physical Science program introduces students to many aspects of the physical world, focusing first on chemistry and then on physics. The course provides an overview of the physical world and gives students tools and concepts to think clearly about matter, atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, motion, force, momentum, work and machines, energy, waves, electricity, light, and other aspects of chemistry and physics. Among other subjects, students study the structure of atoms; the elements and the Periodic Table; chemical reactions; forces, including gravitational, motion, acceleration, and mass; and energy, including light, thermal, electricity, and magnetism.

  1. A great science foundation for high school
    review by Eileen W. on 8/11/2016

    This course provides a great foundation for chemistry, physics and more advance science study in high school. Students are given a chance to carry out several experiments, see the scientific laws in action. This course will challenge your child to grow in his/her scientific study while at the same time having fun learning. The science project and oral presentation provide an excellent opportunity for your student to prepare a solid scientific study and at the same time practice oral presentation skills.

To use this course, you'll need a computer with an Internet connection.  Some courses require additional free software programs, which you can download from the Internet.
