One of the disks includes a PDF guidebook with quizzes and discussion questions covering the material presented in each segment.
It’s wonderful to simply pop in a DVD and let Mr. Olson take your students on a journey into God’s amazing universe. They will learn about Newton’s laws and the complex concepts behind quantum mechanics. He will teach you and your children about the physics of light, sound, heat, electricity, motion, and more.
You’ll also explore the life of famous scientists Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
You’ll even peek into the future of physics.
We particularly appreciate the biblical worldview that undergirds the course.
Mr. Olson is a Multnomah Bible College graduate and a veteran filmmaker of 20 years. He makes a complex subject simple to comprehend and succeeds in engaging his audience with a well-organized and easy to follow format.
Simply viewing the DVDs will give your students a thorough overview of the world of physics. Dig into all the resources provided, and you have a complete high school science course!
