Ginger Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm trying to decide if this will be a good fit for my son next year. He is in a hybrid school: 3 days a week at school and 2 at home. He would probably only have time to do the time4learning physical science on his home days (2x a week). I'm wondering how many lessons there are all together to see how many he'd have to do each day.

CinV Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The high school Physical Science has 249 activities spread over 22 chapters. Activities can be an actual lesson, an authentic task (mostly PhET Simulations or other demonstrations), a quiz, or a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wow. So I did a sample lesson yesterday. It consisted of about 3 or 4 live video segments with questions and cartoon like 'notes' in between. Then it finally came to conclusion of the lesson. It took me about 30 min or so to do it. Does that count as 1 Activity, or would that be 3 or 4, since it was 3 or 4 segments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinV Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That would be 1 activity, but they don't all have that many videos. I would say a 1/2 hour per lesson activity is pretty average, but quiz's only take about 5 - 10 minutes and tests 20 to 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thank you so much! That really helps. I'm thinking it might be a little too much to try to complete in two days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
