Description

For Co-ops Ready to Teach High School Physics

TNT High School Physics is a full-year, lab-based course covering the core concepts of a rigorous high school physics curriculum — from mechanics through nuclear theory. This listing includes the complete mentor binder for all 28 lessons.

What’s Inside

The full course mentor binder is a digital download covering all 28 lessons across eight units:

Mechanics (Lessons 1–12)
Properties of Matter (Lessons 13–15)
Heat (Lessons 16–18)
Sound and Light (Lessons 19–23)
Electricity & Magnetism (Lessons 24–27)
The Atom, Nuclear Physics & Theory (Lesson 28)

Each lesson includes structured class materials, labs, and independent study tasks designed for a co-op teaching environment.

What It Costs to Run the Course

The mentor binder is $129 — a one-time digital download you print yourself. Each year you teach, you’ll also purchase mentor training ($100).

Student binders ($49/student) are purchased separately by each family. We recommend communicating this cost clearly upfront so families can budget accordingly.

Year 1 cost to your co-op: mentor binder ($129) + training ($100) + equipment (~$950) = roughly $1,180. Equipment is durable and built to last — plan on it as a multi-year investment.

If you’re weighing whether to offer this course more than once, the co-op license significantly changes the math.

Want to Teach It More Than Once?

If you decide to make TNT Physics a recurring part of your co-op’s program, you can add the co-op license at any time. The license drops your student binder cost to $42 and mentor training to $50/year — and gives you the right to teach the course indefinitely.

Not sure yet? No problem. Start here, teach it once, and upgrade when you’re ready.

What does this purchase include? A single-use digital download of the complete mentor binder for all 28 lessons — everything one mentor needs to teach the full course. You’ll print it yourself. If you have a teaching team and need multiple printed binders, the co-op license is the better fit — it includes the right to print for your whole team.

Does this include student binders? No. Student binders are purchased separately at $49/student each year you teach.

Do I need mentor training? Yes. Mentor training is $100/year and is purchased separately. It’s designed to prepare you to teach the labs and course content confidently.

Can I teach this course multiple years with this purchase? This listing does not include a reteach license. If you plan to offer the course more than once, the co-op license ($279) is the better value — it includes your mentor binder, reduces annual costs, and gives you unlimited reteach rights.

Can I add the license later? Yes. If you purchase the full course now and later decide to commit long-term, you can add the co-op license at any time.

How much should I budget for equipment? Plan on approximately $950 in durable lab supplies. Most equipment lasts for years, so this is largely a one-time investment.

Can I purchase individual units instead? Yes. Individual units are available at $10/lesson. Purchasing all units separately totals $280 — the full set at $129 saves over 54%.

Is this a digital or physical product? Digital download. You’ll receive a PDF mentor binder to print at home or through a print shop. This purchase licenses one copy for one mentor. For team teaching or multi-year use, see the co-op license.
