Learning List recently reviewed Edgenuity’s Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Earth and Space Science, and Physics courses. These video-based courses address the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and are appropriate for blended learning and/or self-paced instruction.

A guiding question, such as “What is the relationship between hypotheses, theories, and laws?” forms the basis of each lesson. A variety of teachers provide instruction in short video lectures, supported by notes, demonstrations, guided practice, and brief checks for understanding.

Virtual labs and classroom based wet-labs increase the rigor of lessons and facilitate student mastery of key concepts. Many labs include a downloadable student guide with step-by-step instructions and resources to support data collection and analysis. Labs conclude with a “reflection” activity and a lab report. Instruction is grade appropriate for high school students.
Throughout instruction, students have access to audio readers, a searchable glossary, and online highlighting, note taking, and translation tools, as well as an interactive calculator and the periodic table of elements.
