For Parents
What makes Centripetal Education different from other physics programs? Centripetal Education was created specifically for homeschool families by an experienced physics educator with over 35 years in the field. Our program uniquely combines universal compatibility with existing curricula, addresses multiple learning styles, and provides personalized support through our video solution library and homework help service.
Do I need a science background to use your resources with my student? Not at all! Our resources are designed to support parents at all levels of science comfort. The video lessons explain concepts clearly, and the problem library demonstrates solutions step-by-step. For additional support, our homework help service provides personalized assistance when needed.
How does your program align with college preparation and standardized tests? Our curriculum covers all standard physics topics required for college preparation and standardized tests like the AP Physics exams and SAT Subject Tests. The rigorous yet accessible approach ensures students gain a strong conceptual foundation while developing the problem-solving skills needed for advanced study.
Can your resources be used for multiple grade levels or multiple students? Yes! Our content is designed for high school physics but can be adapted for advanced middle school students. The Family Plan allows up to three students to access all resources simultaneously, making it ideal for families with multiple children studying physics.
How compatible is your program with faith-based homeschooling? Centripetal Education focuses on teaching the established principles of physics while respecting diverse worldviews. Our approach to science education acknowledges the wonder and design evident in the natural world, making our resources compatible with various faith-based perspectives.
What if my child is struggling with the material? Our multi-faceted approach addresses different learning styles, and our personalized homework help service provides additional support when needed. If your student is struggling with a concept, they can submit specific questions and receive customized video solutions within 48 hours.
For Students
How do I find solutions to problems in the library? The problem library is organized by topic (mechanics, electricity, etc.) and then by problem type. Use the search function to find specific concepts or problem types, or browse by category. Each solution is titled descriptively to help you identify the most relevant examples.
How do I submit a homework question I need help with? From your member dashboard, click the “Submit a Question” button. You’ll be prompted to upload a clear photo or PDF of the problem, add any relevant information about where you’re stuck, and submit. You’ll receive a notification when your personalized solution video is ready (within 48 hours).
Can I watch the videos on my phone or tablet? Yes! All our videos are mobile-responsive and can be viewed on any device with internet access. You can also download selected content for offline viewing through our mobile app (coming soon).
Will this help me prepare for AP Physics or college-level courses? Absolutely. Our content covers all typical high school physics topics and extends to the depth needed for AP Physics preparation. The problem-solving strategies and conceptual understanding you’ll develop will provide an excellent foundation for college-level science courses.
Technical Questions
What technical requirements do I need to use your resources? You’ll need:
