Physics: Modeling Nature Program

Many ask about this book’s suitability to AP Physics. From our FAQ page, “Modeling Nature can be used with the AP Physics 1/2 curriculum. In each case, the text covers the entire AP curriculum with a small number of exceptions.” Read here for more.

Finally, Modeling Nature employs vector calculations and assumes students have completed trigonometry as a prerequisite. Problems in the text are not calculus-based, but since many students will take calculus concurrently with advanced physics, connections between the two are frequently highlighted. Modeling Nature is written with Novare priorities—supporting a mastery-learning paradigm, integrating related subjects, and a Kingdom perspective that inspires wonder in the beauty and complexity of God’s great world.

Finally, a recommended supplement to this test is John Gribbin’s book In Search of Schrodinger’s Cat. A list of study questions is included in these resources. Purchasers have access to the Digital Resources for the lifetime of the product.

Please note: The digital item included in this package is non-refundable.
