High School Science - Physics

My name is RaeAnna Goss and I am a musician and music educator, not a scientist! However, as the homeschool years have gone by and I’ve been cultivating my children’s education, I can say without a doubt that I am not just a musician and music educator, but I am continually in the process of becoming a MAGNANIMOUS person!

The dictionary definition of Magnanimous is:

1. generous in forgiving an insult or injury; free from petty resentfulness or vindictiveness
2. high-minded; noble
3. proceeding from or revealing generosity or nobility of mind, character

In Volume 4 Charlotte writes, "It is a mistake, perhaps, to think that, to do one thing well, we must just do and think about that and nothing else all the time. It is our business to know all we can and to spend a part of our lives in increasing our knowledge of Nature and Art, of Literature and Man, of the Past and the Present. That is one way in which we become greater persons, and the more a person is, the better he will do whatever piece of special work falls to his share. Let us have, like Leonardo, a spirit 'invariably royal and magnanimous.'" and "Upon the knowledge of these great matters––History, Literature, Nature, Science, Art––the Mind feeds and grows. It assimilates such knowledge as the body assimilates food, and the person becomes what is called magnanimous, that is, a person of great mind, wide interests, incapable of occupying himself much about petty, personal matters. What a pity to lose sight of such a possibility for the sake of miserable scraps of information about persons and things that have little connection with one another and little connection with ourselves!"

It is this pursuit of learning and knowledge that led to science becoming a subject incredibly interesting to me and my children. I love reading about the study of science in Charlotte Mason’s volumes and feel that we have learned so much (and have fostered a curiosity and care for the subject) through literary works.

This guide will introduce your teenager to the world of physics through a literary approach with video resources. I am happy to offer it for free in order to encourage students in the pursuit of knowledge, however if you would like to purchase the guide for a suggested amount of $10 it would be much appreciated!
