Physics
In Physics, students discover the contributions of scientific geniuses like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. Through their work, students learn the concepts, theories, and laws that govern the interaction of matter, energy, and forces within a Christian worldview. From tiny atoms to galaxies with millions of stars, the universal laws of physics are explained through real-world examples. In addition, biblical teaching is consulted in relation to the universe’s physical properties. Using laboratory activities, simulations, images, and interactive elements, students follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest thinkers as they study their contributions to the principles of creation.
