<p>I'm in 11th now and I've already completed my requirement for Science
I have taken
Earth Space Science [8th grade]
Biology[9th grade]
Anatomy [ 10th grade]
and Chemistry[10th grade]</p>
<p>I plan on taking Physics online, and then Biology for two semesters at a community college..
Is this a good idea?</p>
<p>Do they not offer Physics at your school? For a class so challenging, it’s far better to have a live professor.
It’s also best to have a good teacher, too. I’m a junior also, currently taking Honors Physics II. Last year I took regular Physics I, and I found that far more confusing because my teacher wasn’t the greatest…</p>
<p>Good point.</p>
<p>For any remaining sciences at my school, you have to take them at a community college..</p>
<p>The only thing is, its college Physics I, i dont know if it will be too hard or not..</p>
<p>Taking Physics online generally is not a good idea. I speak purely from my own personal experience. I feel that I potentially could have learned more if I took Physics from a live teacher. Fallacious as it may be, I would warn against it.</p>
<p>In the long run, college Physics, I believe, would be far easier than taking it online. Most likely, you’d spend far less time just trying to understand the subject with a good professor than you would on your own, even with a slower curriculum. (Physics writings can be hella confusing.)</p>
<p>As long as it is not calculus based physics the college physics at a community college should not be too hard.</p>
<p>Lol thats the problem
It IS Calculus based :(</p>
<p>Watch out for the APEX online physics course–they are still ironing out the flaws (like mixed up variables in the equations). Unless you have a parent in the house who is willing to tutor you through the material I would highly encourage you to do the college course. Could you take it pass/fail?</p>
<p>I’d recommend taking it at another high school or at a community college.
I don’t think you can learn physics online..</p>
<p>If you really want to take physics online, don’t take a college level calculus based physics on line; at least find a college physics class designed for “non-science majors.” Calculus based physics really is too hard to do without interaction with professors and other students. Really. (Really.)</p>
<p>I think Indiana University offers high school physics as an on line or correspondence (fax in your homework) class. Not too expensive. How about that?</p>
<p>here is the link.</p>
<p>41P Physics Level 1 and 42P Physics Level 2 as a one-year physics course designed for a high school student to take remotely.</p>
<p>(search the .pdf for the word physics)
