Developing problem-solving skills in PHYSICS: Explore, Discover, Practice, Succeed!
------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Simple Pendulum School of Physics (#SP², est. 2024) is a gateway to excellence in physics at the AP and college levels.
- Our mission is to make physics accessible through proven, time-honored Soviet Union STEM curricula (Pyoryshkin, Tarasova, Savchenko, Meledin, etc.) and the latest state-of-the-art Universal Design for Learning (UDL) educational methods.
- Problem-solving in physics applies to many academic and professional fields.
- Structured learning fosters strong analytical and reasoning skills.
- Mastering physics empowers success in science, technology, and engineering.
Welcome to The Simple Pendulum School of Physics!
Introductory Summer Science Course: A Strong Foundation in Physics
Give your child the best start in physics with a course that teaches them how to think critically and solve problems from first principles. Based on the proven Soviet educational approach, we introduce the concepts of physics science through the Mechanics course, which introduces concepts like motion, forces, Newton’s Laws, and energy through step-by-step, logical reasoning. We focus on understanding the "why" behind physics. Your child will learn how to solve problems with confidence, develop analytical skills, and build a solid foundation for future STEM success—all in a clear and structured online format.
