Physics for the Logic Stage

Full-year course. Physics​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Logic​ ​Stage​ ​provides​ ​an​ ​exploration of the field of physics while teaching the basics of the scientific method. Throughout the year, we will address the concepts of forces and motion, friction and gravity, pressure and work, energy, thermodynamics, ​ ​sound, ​ ​light, ​ simple machines, ​electricity and ​magnetism.

Prerequisite: Please make sure that your student takes the math pre-test before signing up for this course.




My daughter loved every class and came to us with excitement to report what she learned and worked on. We were told on numerous occasions how well organized the class was. The teacher gave thorough and detailed feedback on assignments. Most importantly she made physics very interesting and my daughter now loves physics. You just can't get any better than that. Also, Ava felt extremely prepared for the California State Science Assessment test. - Parent Course Evaluation
This class was an amazing and thorough introduction to physics. Great teacher and great class environment. - Student Course Evaluation
This class was extremely organized and well taught. Dr. Bennet gave excellent feedback on assignments. She made class time interesting by having videos and simulators to watch and play. She made the projects easy to do by submitting them step by step. She managed the class well. She also made time for review days in class which was extremely helpful. - Student Course Evaluation
I adored this class! Every unit introduced me to fascinating new ideas. As someone who struggles with math, I was deathly afraid of the equations, however, after a bit of practice and patience on the instructor’s part, I finally understood, and actually enjoy using the equations now!

Because of this class, I now have a middle schooler who is excited to go on learning about all areas of science. The instructor did an exemplary job of making this physics class both rigorous and fun for middle schoolers.
