Customer Reviews for Cerebellum Corporation Physics 9 DVD Pack

Cerebellum is pleased to offer teachers and home-schoolers the complete Teaching System for Physics. The award-winning Teaching System is designed to capture your students' attention and make your presentation of the critical concepts of Physics come alive!

Physics is one of the three basic natural sciences. It's considered one of the most fun topics but can intimidate both teachers and students. By concentrating on the key concepts and presenting the material in an intriguing manner, Physics students are able to gain confidence in themselves and their ability to master this important science. Teachers can present the topic with a minimum of self-study and in fact can learn with the student if necessary. Home-school instructors lacking a natural science background can feel confident in the accuracy and thoroughness of the Teaching Systems Physics materials. Likewise, home-schooled students, who might not have access to the Physics laboratory, can benefit from a visual learning experience beyond the textbook.

The Physics Teaching System is a stand alone system or can supplement your own teaching materials. The system consists of:

Nine modules of DVD video content:
