Novare Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry Student Text

Designed to be an ideal first science experience for young but accelerated/honors high schoolers, Novare Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry Student Text is a rigorous physical science resource that invites learners to go deep and master content. The course, about 70 percent physics and 30 percent basic chemistry, is best for students who love science, are strong in math, and aspire to a technical career or college program.

The 2nd edition of the student text provides a unified, in-depth scope, teaching students to use correct terminology and to communicate in succinct technical writing. The trademark Novare commitment to a biblical worldview and integration of history, mathematics, and technical communication skills is prominent as the student considers weighty questions: What is a theory and what is it not? What is knowledge? What kind of information does science give us? What does it mean that human beings can observe and understand the world? What does it mean that mathematics is able to model the natural world?

Please note the math in this course is at the Algebra I level, but exercises are intentionally a bit more challenging. After completing this course, students will be prepared to go on to Novare Chemistry for Accelerated Students.
