PASCO Academy provides virtual labs, activities, and curricular resources to institutions and faculty using hybrid or distance learning models. Our courses are designed and delivered by PASCO instructors who work with faculty to support their students’ science learning.
The PASCO Academy gives science educators 24/7 access to our Physics and Chemistry courses. Each course includes a resource library with 30 weeks of turnkey distance learning content, including virtual labs, activities, and curriculum designed to align with introductory Physics and Chemistry courses.
PASCO Academy: Physics provides a full semester (15 weeks) of instructional and lab activity support for distance and hybrid physics courses. Each week, our physics Instructors provide three online video segments intended for asynchronous, synchronous or synchronous hybrid learning formats: an educator-focused explanation of the week’s material, a student-focused lab session that demonstrates the week’s phenomenon using experimentation and data collection, and a follow-up student-focused video segment that reviews the experiment’s analysis and scientific relevance.
The course is designed to supplement your campus’s existing physics curriculum by providing instructional support, video-based labs, student data sets, and faculty coaching that enables your campus to engage with physics concepts from any location.
PASCO Academy: Physics follows the Essential Physics curriculum, which satisfies standards for algebra-based physics and introductory physics courses. Our Instructors will use Essential Physics to supplement your existing curriculum and will support faculty and students with their instructional resources, lab demonstrations, and professional development. A single semester fee includes campus-wide access to our Essential Physics curriculum and resources, including the e-Book, Teacher Resources, infinite Test Bank, lab investigations, and more. These resources are designed to serve as supplemental distance learning materials but may also assist educators during their transition back to the classroom as the curriculum is consistent for all learning modalities.
