Integrated Physics & Chemistry Online

Integrated Physics and Chemistry is a physical science course designed for high school students needing an entry-level science course covering basic concepts found in chemistry and physics. Topics included in this study are:

  • Matter
  • Motion and forces
  • Work and energy
  • Electricity and magnetism
  • Waves

Throughout the course, students will have opportunities to observe simulations, investigate ideas, and solve problems–both on screen and away from the computer.

Labs For The Home Teacher

Home Teacher Labs

Labs for the Homeschool Plus program are those contained in the Ignitia Online Curriculum. No expensive equipment is required with only several requiring the purchase of small items or household items to conduct the experiments.

It is always advisable to be familiar with your surroundings and wear protective equipment when conducting any experiment.  Never allow yourself to be distracted when completing an experiment.
