Friendly Physical Science Set
If your teen thinks physical science is just for future rocket scientists, it's time to introduce him to Friendly Physical Science—the course that makes serious science feel surprisingly doable. With clear, casual language, over 300 cheerful diagrams, and a healthy mix of hands-on experiments and brain-boosting challenges, this set is perfect for a student who learns best when he's actually doing something.
Covering everything from Newton's laws to electromagnetism to heat energy—and even a toe-dip into chemistry—this course doesn't just check the box for high school science credit (though yes, it totally counts). It helps your student build a mental toolbox of skills he'll use long after graduation: critical thinking, real-world problem-solving, and a big-picture understanding of how the universe behaves.
And it's not all lecture and worksheet. This course invites your teen to roll up his sleeves and get into STEM-mode with design engineering challenges that test his creativity and reinforce what he's learned. Are these challenges tricky? Sometimes. But that's the point—they stretch your student's brain in all the right ways. Plus, the labs are simple, safe, and use materials you likely already have in your home or can grab at the grocery store. No hazardous waste disposal required.
Friendly Physical Science includes:
- A student-friendly textbook packed with real-world examples
- A consumable workbook with 1–2 practice sheets per lesson
- A separate Tests and Solutions Manual (yes, multiple choice fans rejoice!)
Expect to cover measurement systems, forces, motion, electricity, light, sound, basic chemistry—you name it. There's even a pro tip: stock up on lab supplies early. Grab a box, scavenge the house, and you're golden.
This isn't just science—it's confidence-building, curiosity-sparking, future-prepping content. And if you've struggled to find a science course that actually connects with your teen? Friendly Physical Science makes complex concepts click and keeps curiosity in the spotlight.

No, you need the text to accompany the video course. The publisher likes to consider the video to be like the "teacher" and the textbook to be like your required classroom book.
