Science at Follow The Light Academy
Exploring God's incredible creation — from atoms to galaxies — through faith-integrated, live online classes for every grade level. 32 weeks of discovery, wonder, and faith!
⚡ Physics
Forces, motion, energy, and the laws God built into every corner of His universe.
📋 Course Overview
Physics is one of the most beautiful courses a young person can study, because it pulls back the curtain on the universe and reveals the fingerprints of a God who designed it all with breathtaking precision. This is not a course about memorizing formulas — it's a course about asking big questions: Why does the moon stay in orbit? What is light really made of? How does a generator work? — and discovering that the answers always point back to a Creator whose wisdom is infinite. 32 weeks of mind-expanding discovery, real-world problem solving, and faith woven into every single lesson.

Discovering the wonder of living things — cells, ecosystems, and the Creator behind it all.
📋 Course Overview
Life Science is one of the most wonder-filled courses a young person can take, because it opens the door to the microscopic, the ecological, and the deeply personal — all at once. This is not a course about memorizing vocabulary lists. It's a course about asking big questions: What makes something alive? How does one tiny cell become a whole organism? Why does every living thing on Earth depend on every other? — and discovering that the answers always point back to a Creator whose imagination has no limits. By the end of this year, your student will look at a leaf, a bird, a blade of grass — even their own hand — and see the glory of the God who designed it all.
