Physics 101
Why do some physics concepts click immediately while others seem impossible to picture? Physics 101 approaches physics through a clear Biblical worldview and uses visual instruction to make abstract ideas easier to understand.
Typically counted as one full high school science credit, this download-only course allows students to begin immediately.
Created by filmmaker Wes Olson, the course relies on demonstrations, visuals, and guided explanations to illustrate concepts rather than expecting students to build understanding solely from formulas.
Across 20 segments and more than ten hours of video instruction, students explore motion, light, sound, electricity, thermodynamics, and other foundational physics topics while learning how discoveries and scientific ideas developed over time.
Lessons stay focused on understanding concepts rather than heavy mathematics, making the course especially approachable for students who need to see physics before they can fully understand it.
The printable guidebook includes quizzes and review materials, while the accreditation booklet expands the course into a 130-hour program with optional labs and additional assignments.
Physics 101 works well as a first physics course, a visual alternative to textbook-heavy programs, or additional support alongside more advanced science coursework.

We consider the DVD course an overview that complements but does not replace another curriculum. We suggest using it as a supplement alongside Introductory Physics.

Great Christian Worldview
AJPatton
I bought this DVD to accompany the PAC curriculum for my 15 year old son. We do the PAC Mon-Wed and this DVD on Thur. It's a great change up after the bookwork the first part of the week. When they are turned on the whole family ends up watching them. These are interesting, engaging and teach a solid Christian Worldview which is a nice addition to our science giving my son a well rounded education. I highly recommend these and will be using them with my younger sons.

Physics 101 is perfect!
Susan M.
We are homeschooling a 5th grader who has a particular interest in Physics. In fact, this school year is the third year in a row our daughter has specifically asked me to teach her Physics as part of our homeschool curriculum. We have already used a free on-line Physics program, as well as the Apologia Chemistry/Physics Elementary level book--both of which were excellent, but what to use for this year since she still wanted to be studying Physics sure had me baffled. After reading on a homeschool blog about a High school Physics text their family had used, I ordered that Physics text myself but was sorely disappointed once I received it as I realized how much evolution was written throughout the textbook. I would have anticipated this perhaps in a Biology textbook, but did not expect to have this problem in the area of Physics. So far, I have been selecting parts out of this Physics text to use with our daughter, but when I received a recent e-mail from Timberdoodle advertising the Physics 101 DVD, I knew I needed to take a closer look. Reading that it was developed from a Creationist point of view convinced me to order it immediately, and I have been eagerly anticipating it's delivery. We received it today, and unlike my previous attempt at purchasing a Physics program, this one has NOT disappointed! I immediately started watching the program, and cannot WAIT to switch my daughter over to this program tomorrow in homeschool. There is an amazing amount of material contained in these four DVDs, and the presentation is so interesting that I want to watch the entire program myself just for fun! I understand that the program is geared for age 15 and up, but if you have a younger child such as my 11 year old who loves Physics, do not hesitate to order this program for them. And you will not need to worry about any younger children being in the same room while this program is playing--it is very family-friendly!
