(Click to Watch Open House Demo)
Every Monday at 7-8:00 PM EST (scheduled 1st session 9/14-11/16).
Course Description:
A overall introduction to various disciplines in science brought down to grade level through use of Power Point, STEM based films , and the
Use of artifacts from museums (on loan to instructor).
General Science Curriculum:
Professor Baraket taught all physical sciences esp space and aeronautical emphasis to international STEM senior high school students in National Space Society (NSS) educational program. He is also a certified Space Ambassador for the National Space Society.
Professor Baraket has many years experience teaching secondary school level science, including general physics, earth science, atomic physics and introduction to astrophysics.

General Science Curriculum:
- An Introduction to Amazing Physics ( students are taught about roundness, density of things here and in space and on being rarified (low density ) here and in space .
- Introduction to Gen physics (students are taught complex laws but without the calculus on celestial & terrestrial mechanics, Newtons Laws of Motion applied to everyday objects .
- Gen Physical Laws continues with Universal Gravitation, the nature of Entrophy . What is Escape Velocity and we teach them how to do actual calculations with rockets of their own design and blastoff .
- A Trip through a Black hole … We explain what would happen if you did this and how it relates to time travel.
- Intro to Electromagnetism -we teach magnets, electricity, static electricity . How electricity really works .
- The Spectrum …we explain about the power of light how it can be a wave and a particle . All about the spectrum and its principles in different wavelengths,
- The Quantum world …we explain about atoms, invisible particles, the subatomic world .
- Intro to Chemistry … all about the periodic table of elements , basic chemistry very easy principles not complicated .
- WE ARE STARDUST … how the elements on earth arrived as a result of supernova explosions and that our bodies are composed of elements found in stardust.
- Intro to Geophysics… a study of earth sciences, exploring the rock cycle, water cycle, atmospheric cycle . How earth was first formed .
- Earth from Birth to Now .. explains how life developed, the extinctions periods of Earth dinosaurs (artifacts shown) , volcanoes, earthquake science, ocean science.
- Atmospheric science ,Intro ..all about our atmosphere , and extreme weather , clouds, lightning, rain, rainbows, amazing types of anomalies in the sky explained .
- Death by Asteroid ….explore comets, meteors and asteroids, with actual artifacts as examples, explain processes.
- Environmental Science … Earth ‘s Magnetosphere, ozone layer, greenhouse effect, carbon as an element , extinction periods.
- Intro to Astronomy … Study of telescopes, constellations, celestial science and objects ,basic study of planets and physical laws related to space discovery.
- Intro to Biology .. what is a cell, chemical factories of life, how life developed in the oceans , dna, genetic code
- This course will cover all physical sciences including Gen physics, earth science, atomic physics and introduction to astrophysics.
