This course is a comprehensive, honors level physics course. Correlated to state standards, this course is self-contained, with a student notebook that includes all of the homework assignments, as well as the recommended lab procedures. The teacher version of the Student Notebook includes detailed solutions to all homework problems. The evaluation tools included with the course consist of two test versions for every chapter as well as five different quiz versions for virtually every topic covered. A pacing guide ensures completion of all required content. Daily lesson plans offer classroom-tested teaching strategies and daily Class Notes (as overhead masters) in support of effective classroom instruction. The Class Notes include all of the theoretical material, as well as applications and sample problems, which will enable any teacher with a reasonable background in science to immediately begin teaching physics. This course will support the new teacher, an out-of-field assignment or the experienced teacher wishing to add additional materials to the curriculum.
