Spring 2026 Homeschool Classes List

Ever wonder why your hair stands on end after taking off a sweater, or how a single spark can light up the sky? Join us for a hands-on session where students will become a modern-day electro physicist! They'll use simple materials to explore the fundamental laws of attraction and repulsion. They will apply the powerful principles of Coulomb's Law to predict and explain the forces they observe, demystifying the unseen power that governs everything from atoms to lightning. Get ready to charge up your understanding of physics!

Ready to explore the invisible forces that shape our planet and power our technology? Join the Magnetism lab! In this hands-on session, students will dive into the world of permanent magnets to experimentally map their magnetic fields and investigate the principles governing magnetic force. You'll use tools to visualize the poles, explore how magnetic fields interact, and discover what factors influence the strength and direction of the force. This lab is your chance to demystify compasses, understand how electric currents relate to magnetism, and grasp the core concepts of this fundamental natural phenomenon. Prepare for an attractive learning experience!

Ready to literally see physics in action? Join this Optics lab, where students will explore the fundamental ray model of light! They will get hands-on experience using precision optical instruments to track light's path and verify the laws of reflection and refraction. Learn how Snell's Law predicts the bending of light, how lenses focus an image, and how the eye works! This is a visually stunning session that will transform the way you see the world, from magnifying glasses to complex telescopes.

Are you ready to stop just plugging things in and start understanding how they work? Join us for an interactive lab where students will dive into the architecture of Simple Electrical Circuits! Students will apply the powerful principles of Ohm's Law. Learn to predict the current, voltage, and resistance at every point in your circuit before you even connect the wires.

Get ready to Spring Into Motion! This hands-on physics lab is designed for high school students interested in the fascinating world of Simple Harmonic Motion and Elasticity. Students will work in teams to apply Hooke's Law experimentally, measuring how forces stretch a spring and then using that data to predict the outcome of its oscillation. Prepare to learn essential concepts, practice precise measurement, and see the fundamental principles of springs and waves come to life!

The Power of Friction! This lab explores electricity in its most "jumpy" form. Students will investigate how simple friction can strip electrons from one surface and park them on another, creating invisible static forces. They will experiment with how these charges influence objects around them—making things hover, stick, or repel without physical contact. This helps students transition from seeing electricity as "magic" to seeing it as a tangible movement of particles (electrons) between materials.

While we can’t see magnetic fields, we can certainly see their effects. In this lab, students explore how magnets "reach out" through space to pull on objects. They will move beyond basic attraction to investigate how magnetic lines of force create patterns and how certain materials can act as shields or conductors for that force.

Light doesn’t always travel in a simple straight line; it can be bounced, bent, and focused. Students will use mirrors and water to manipulate light beams, discovering why objects appear distorted underwater or magnified through a lens. We focus on the transition from "seeing" to "observing" how light interacts with the world.

Controlling the Flow! Everything from a flashlight to a smartphone relies on a path for energy. In this hands-on session, students become "circuit detectives," building loops to power small components. Students gain practical confidence with hardware while learning the fundamental requirements for any electronic device to function safely.

The Science of the Swing! Nature is full of cycles—from the beat of a heart to the swing of a playground set. By experimenting with pendulums, students investigate the variables that control "rhythmic motion." This lab introduces the concept of a "variable," teaching students how to isolate one factor at a time to find the true cause of a physical change.
