Dual Credit Physics for STEM Students

image875

Physics for STEM Students

  • A college-level, algebra-based physics course, with lab, designed for the 11th or 12th grade student who has completed algebra and has a STEM aptitude. 
  • Offered as a Dual Credit class (4 credit hours)
  •  Successfully completing this class makes a student eligible for the LeTourneau Dual Credit Scholarship ($17,000 per year for up to 4 years) 
  • Taught in both Fall and Spring semesters. Pick the semester that best fits your schedule.  
  • The class includes a lab component and most of the  equipment needed can be found at home or local hardware store. The student  will be responsible for acquiring the needed supplies.
  • Taught  from a Biblical worldview, the course will reinforce there is no  dichotomy between faith and science while exploring the evidence  supporting Romans 1:20.
  • Physics  is math with a purpose, therefore, students taking this course must be  competent in algebra (including the quadratic formula, logarithms, and  adding fractions) and geometry (especially the Pythagorean theorem) and  the trigonometric functions of sine, cosine, tangent, and arc-tangent.
  • The  homework and exams are designed for the student to go beyond just  learning the concepts, associated equations, and showing competence in  doing the math associated but to foster their critical thinking and  problem solving skills, as well. As the Greek, Sophocles said, “One must  learn a thing by doing it. For though you think you know, you have no  certainty until you try.” This course will challenge your student. It  moves at a quick pace and rhythm requiring the student to engage in the  material each week and throughout the entire course.
