Dmmetler Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 what other things should I add for physics next year? We have a ton of snap circuits and regular hands-on type stuff like balls, boards, tape measures, balance scales, and stuff like that. DD will be using LoF Physics, which she's excited about, and which, as I understand it, is more focused on the math and less on the hands on, so I want materials around for her to explore and follow up with as she's interested in them. She's done two semesters of hands on physics as part of a lab class designed for elementary age kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
