Lessons

Lessons in Applied Physics will be based off three textbooks. Each will introduce new concepts of Physics while reusing concepts from the previous textbook. In addition, lab assignments will help students to understand better of everything taught in the textbook while learning new concepts not covered in the books.

Unit 1: Force

The students are off to a relatively easy start with this book as it takes the students through four force-related subunits, or chapters. After this unit, students will be able to calculate force in mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems. Some other ideas, like those related to mass and density, are also included in this book to support the main focus. In addition, many concepts covered in this book are quite useful in life.

Unit 2: Work

This book takes the students to a whole new level as it slowly adds difficulty to the concepts while connecting to old concepts from the pervious book. Through three chapters, students will learn to describe work in mechanical, fluid, and electrical systems and how work relates to the presence of force and movement. Students will learn how to calculate work and know how to use the correct units in the calculations. Though the concepts aren't hard to learn, good problem-solving skills are needed to be able to fully apply the concepts into study and use. With the new theories and concepts along with a lot more interesting labs, this unit definitely has more challenge and fun than the last unit.

Unit 3: Rate

With a similar style as the previous books, this book leads students into in-depth learning of rate through four subunits. Rates are needed to describe how machinery operates and this unit will explain how it works. With no doubt, this unit has to be the most interesting of the three units.
