General Physics I Lab
Course Content from eScience LabsThis lab-only course is designed as a standalone addition to StraighterLine’s General Physics I course. Students will complete at-home laboratory experiments, track and record results, answer lab-based questions reflected in graded lab reports, and complete lab-based assessments to meet the lab requirement. The labs are provided by eScience Labs, a leading provider of at home lab kits and online lab instructional materials and resources.
Information about the required lab kit is available in the "Course Text" tab below.
This Course Includes:
- 48 hours grading turn-around
- Live technical and student support
- Free transcription to your destination school
- 150+ partner college and universities with direct articulation
- Self Paced
- Science
- Content by eScience Labs
