What others have to say about Science Jim's Webclasses: "We just finished with your class. WOW is all we have to say. We truly enjoyed it." Michelle N. Thank YOU for the web classes. You are providing an education for my son that I never could. Looking forward to more. Athena B. I was thrilled to watch my son with the concepts of gravity and friction. He spent an hour experimenting with all his various hot wheels and ramp combinations then explained it all to his brother later that day. It was awesome! Cindy C. Just want to let you know my daughter LOVED your atoms class. She said she thought she finally found something she liked! Linda F. I just wanted to let you know how much Samantha is enjoying the class! After every class I get to hear for the next couple days all she's learned. My husband and I both have science backgrounds and Samantha has never experienced much interest. So I'm enjoying watching her excitementbeing piqued! You can definitely count her in for the next class. Renee A. We love your classes, you have been such an inspiration to my children in ways you cannot imagine. My son (8 years old) has become really confident in his pursuit of science, robotics and all things electronic, in large part because we have been able to take your courses for over a year now, and your awesome enthusiasm and excellent teaching style. My daughter sees physics as simple and common as a seed planted and sprouting. (I hope you understand my meaning). Karen S. |

Science Jim's Newton's Laws 9 sessions January 25,to March 21 2012 Ages 9 and up Fee 75.00 Join Science Jim and explore Newton's groundbreaking discoveries as we discuss gravity, momentum, acceleration and all three of Newton's laws of motion. What does Newton's first law have to do with getting ketchup out of a bottle? Why should all amusement parks be called NewtonLand? What do Newton's laws have to do with me riding my skateboard (and wearing my helmet)? This class will make you realize how key Newton's laws are to everyday life and will have you seeing them everywhere! The lessons in the free Bite-Size Physics: Mechanics eBook accompany each online class and are packed with experiments and activities that the students are encouraged to do as "lab work" after each class. We will discuss the "lab findings" the following week. Each class is recorded so you can watch them whenever, and as often as, you'd like.
Science Jim's Physics of Forces Classes Force is a fascinating and mysterious area of physics. Einstein himself called force "spooky action from a distance". How can one thing effect another thing over, potentially, hundreds of thousands of miles with out ever touching it i.e. the Sun and the Earth? How does a magnet hold itself to the refrigerator even though it can't hold itself to the wall? To be honest, nobody knows the complete answers to these questions but we are going to have a lot of fun getting into it! The lessons in the free eBook accompany each online class and are packed with experiments and activities that the students are encouraged to do as "lab work" after each class. We will discuss the "lab findings" the following week. Each class is recorded so you can watch them whenever, and as often as, you'd like. Science Jim's Marvelous Magnetism 4 Sessions January 24 - February 14 Tuesdays at 9:30 to 10:30 Central Time Ages 9 and up Fee $30.00 Free Bite-Size Physics: Magnetism eBook! Join Science Jim for 4 classes of diving deep into one of the most mysterious and wonderful topics in science. We'll be studying what magnetism is, how does it work, and what we can do with it.
