NEW THIS YEAR: There will be a Printed Lab Book Option available for purchase for Biology, Life, Marine, and Physical Science classes for $65 for the full year of lecture notes and labs. ELEMENTARY ONLY: 1st and 2nd-semester packets are sold separately. $30 per semester/lab book. USE THIS LINK between July 15 and August 4 to order your Lab Book. Payment is required upon ordering either online or via Zelle to jill@science2u.com. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. We will not buy back or refund printed lab books if a student drops or for any reason.
Late Ordering and Delivery will be open until Sunday, August 24th. Students who order and pay from August 5th – August 24th will be responsible for printing and bringing their own materials until printed books are delivered by week 2. No other ordering opportunities will be available after August 24th.
Charter Funds: We advise against using charter funds to order the Printed Lab Book. We cannot place the order until we receive payment from the charter school. This process can delay delivery by up to 30 days after the end of the month in which the purchase order (PO) is dated. For example, if the PO has an August service date, you can expect to receive the Printed Lab Book by early October. A September service date would result in delivery by early November. You must print your materials until then. More information is available when clicking the link.Â
ELEMENTARY CLASSES $400 PER SEMESTER

Physics 11-12th $525
FRIDAY 8:30 am – 11:30 am
Pre-requisite: successful completion of Algebra 1 & 2 (exceptional math students may be concurrently enrolled in Algebra 2 if they have had an adequate introduction to trigonometry).
This two-semester Physics course will be a non-calculus-based high school level class suitable for seniors or prepared juniors and will well prepare the student for a college physics course, whether or not they major in a science field. The prerequisites are a solid math background as listed above. Students will complete lab work in a research notebook and produce laboratory reports in those notebooks with error analysis. The emphasis in this class is on understanding physics concepts and using math to solve real-world physics problems. Students will have access to professional physics laboratory equipment and learn to interface that equipment with the computer through specialized software. Topics will include sections on classical mechanics, waves, light and geometric optics, electric fields and circuits, electrostatics, magnetism/electromagnetism, thermodynamics, coefficients of thermal expansion, and modern physics. The course will include weekly lectures with several hands-on labs and write-ups, along with an optional recitation session weekly. Written tests and exams will be administered in class throughout the year, and written homework exercises will be assigned each week.
