Complete Introduction to Physics (Grades 9+)

Physics is the area of science that deals with the properties and relationships of matter and energy. Study principles of physics including force, motion, work, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, radiation, and atomic energy.

Explore the amazing world of physics with the Complete Introduction to Physics kit (Grades 9+) from Home Science Tools. This kit will allow your student to discover the principles of physics. Your student will learn about the electromagnetic spectrum and how it impacts our uses of technology.

The kit includes 15 unique, hands-on experiments, science supplies and a 38-page full-color manual. The primary topics covered in this kit include:

• Optics
• Waves
• Electricity
• Technology
• Springs

Your student will experience physics topics including:

• Watch electromagnetic waves move between objects in a microwave.
• Discover the differences between convex and concave mirrors and lenses.
• Work with an electroscope to determine how electricity and magnetism are related. 
• Fold and build airplanes and cars to see how technology is developed.

They will also answer questions such as:

• What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
• How is technology developed and tested?
• Are waves and springs related?
• In what ways is a study of physics important to me?

• HS-PS2-5 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current.
• HS-PS3-3 Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
• HS-PS3-5 Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.
• HS-PS4-3 Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
• HS-PS4-4 Evaluate the validity and reliability of claims in published materials of the effects that different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation have when absorbed by matter.
