Life of Fred PreAlgebra 0 with Physics is a hardcover textbook containing 288 pages. This book is not consumable. All answers are written on separate paper or in a notebook.

Number of Lessons: 40 daily lessons plus Bridges

In most educational systems, physics is often taught in the twelfth grade. Valuable learning time is lost waiting that long. This book fills a big gap. The title of this book might have been Physics after Arithmetic or Physics before Algebra.
