Although our family normally schools year round, I try to give the kids a little bit of a break during the summer months by choosing fun and interesting courses that don’t require much homework.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So when Timberdoodle offered me a review copy of Physics 101<\/a>, I gladly accepted, suspecting it would be a pain-free way to keep science going <\/strong>through those ten weeks when the rest of the world was on summer vacation.<\/p>\n

Physics 101<\/a> did not disappoint. Although I planned to use this introductory course for my high schoolers (it’s part of Timberdoodle’s 10th Grade Curriculum Set), my younger kids quickly became engrossed in the video lessons<\/strong>, as well.<\/p>\n

So did I. I learned stuff in this course I never knew before<\/strong> — despite the fact I’d taken three years of physics in high school and college. That’s because Wes Olson, the host of the 101 Series<\/a>, is a master at asking intelligent questions, then answering them with easy-to-follow explanations.<\/p>\n

I tried to take a few screenshots to give you a better picture of what this course entails, but I couldn’t get that function to work while my computer was hooked up to our projector. Fortunately, I found this promotional clip on YouTube so you can see Mr. Olsen in action:<\/strong><\/p>\n
