Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other
Other methodologies
Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement
Low Teacher Involvement
Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Description
Experiments
for Physics: Modeling Nature contains five upper-level physics experiments that
have been adapted from Favorite Experiments of Physics and Physical Science.
Background teaching information, learning objectives, and student instructions
are laid out in the introduction. Following are the five experiments. Each
experiment includes learning objectives, materials list, purpose, overview,
pre-lab discussions, additional details about the experiment, and thorough step-by-step
instructions. Labs should be easily replicated at home. Parents/teachers will
want to obtain many of the supplies ahead of time as they may not be readily
available at local retailers. A review
of measurement basics is also included. 87 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Physics: Modeling Nature Experiments
This volume contains the complete teacher's instructions for conducting the lab experiments for our advanced physics text, Physics: Modeling Nature. The contents of this book are adapted from our book Favorite Experiments in Physics and Physical Science. Each chapter typically includes a list of Learning Objectives, Materials List, Experimental Purpose, Scientific Overview, Pre-Lab Discussion Points, Student Instructions, any Safety Concerns, and discussion of the use of any special apparatus.
Experiments:
Bulls Eye Lab: use vector-based equations for two-dimensional projectile motion to make predictions
The Friction Challenge: design methods to produce accurate and precise measurements of static and kinetic coefficients of friction and implement these methods to measure brass-on-brass contact under dry and lubricated conditions
Rotational Kinetic Energy: use energy equations to predict translational velocity of a solid steel ball after it rolls to the bottom of a ramp, and compare prediction to experimental results
Calorimetry: determine specific heat capacity of copper using the techniques of calorimetry and theory of heat transfer
Sound Lab: use the theory of inverse square variation and logarithms to make quantitative predictions about decibels and sound pressure level of a piezo siren at various distances
Includes color photos of the experiments being conducted in a classroom setting.
Category Description for Novare Physics: Modeling Nature
Written to prepare students for college level STEM programs, Physics Modeling Nature is a vector-based physics course to meet the needs of advanced and honors students. The final course in the Novare Science Accelerated High School Pathway, the course emphasizes mastery by teaching a narrow scope of topics that advanced physics students should master during the high school years. Topics covered with more complexity include mathematics and vectors, uniform motion, forces, fields and Newton's Law, static equilibrium and torque, energy, rotating systems, pressure and buoyancy, kinetic theory, thermodynamics, simple harmonic motion, electrostatics, geometric optics, nuclear physics and more. Students will also learn the basics of quantum mechanics that includes outside class readings from In Search of Schrodinger's Cat by John Gribbin. Lab experiments and fully documented lab reports are expected. Each student completing this course will be well-prepared to take the AP Physics test. Also included are two supplemental (optional) chapters to prepare students for the SAT subject test, the DSST test and the CLEP test, if appropriate. Prerequisites include one year of introductory or first year high school physics, as well as Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry. Students may take this course concurrently with Trigonometry once mastery of right-angle trigonometry and triangle laws has been accomplished. The Full Program includes the Physics: Modeling Nature Student Edition, Experiments for Physics: Modeling Nature, Solutions Manual to Accompany Physics Modeling Nature, and the Digital Resources. Components are available individually or in the Full Program Package.
