Home schooling resources for children and parents.
Welcome to Lenara Learning – your place to learn physics in a way that actually makes sense! Ever wondered how a rollercoaster zooms through twists and turns, why magnets stick to the fridge, or what causes lightning to streak across the sky? That’s all explained by physics – and there’s so much more to uncover.
In this physics for kids section, you’ll explore energy, motion, forces, sound, heat, electricity, and even the tiny particles that make up everything around us. You’ll discover surprising facts, like how gravity changes depending on where you are on Earth, and how light is the fastest traveller in the universe!
We make big ideas simple. You’ll learn about Newton’s laws, how sound moves, and even dive into the mind-bending world of quantum physics. Want to know how bridges stay up or how your mobile phone really works? Physics is behind it all.
You’ll also meet science legends like Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein – the thinkers who helped shape how we see the world today.
At Lenara Learning, we believe that anyone can learn physics. That’s why we’ve created easy-to-understand guides, cool experiments, and amazing facts to help you explore how the universe works.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding loads of exciting topics, including Mechanics, Waves and Sound, Light and Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Modern Physics, and Applied Physics. There’s something for every curious mind!
Browse the topics below, in order, to start learning physics today.
We’re adding new physics lessons daily – and soon, this section will include a full Physics 101 course for all ages!
Light doesn’t act like just a wave or a particle—it shows properties of both. This wave particle duality is a core idea in modern physics. From double-slit experiments to photon behaviour in solar panels, understanding light helps explain everything from rainbows to quantum theory.
This Doppler effect lesson breaks down how sound and light waves shift based on movement. It explores pitch, frequency change, redshift, and real-world uses in radar, medicine, and astronomy. Learn how waves behave with motion using step-by-step explanations and visual thought experiments.
What do musical instruments, swinging playgrounds, and collapsing bridges all have in common? They’re all part of the strange and fascinating world of resonance and standing waves. In this physics guide, you’ll learn what resonance is, how standing waves form, and why wave reinforcement matters in real life—from sound to safety.
Sound is energy moving through particles as waves, and physics explains exactly how that works. From how vibrations create noise to the maths behind frequency and resonance, this article explores how the science of sound connects to what we hear every day.
Waves are everywhere—sound, light, and even the vibrations in your phone. In this detailed and easy-to-follow guide, we explore the three most important wave properties: amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. With clear examples, real-life connections, and fun facts, you’ll understand how waves work and why they’re so important.
Learn about the science behind simple machines and how they help us “work smarter, not harder.” This easy-to-understand guide explains each type of simple machine with clear examples and everyday uses. Ideal for young learners exploring physics in daily life.
Learn how momentum and collisions explain everything from bouncing balls to car crashes. This easy-to-understand physics guide explores the science of impacts, safety, and everyday motion with clear examples, fun experiments, and practical applications. Perfect for home learners wanting to understand the world of moving things.
This comprehensive physics guide explains the science behind work, energy and power. Learn how these forces control movement, machines, and your own body in this easy-to-understand homeschool resource.
This detailed home learning article explains everything about gravity—how it works, why things fall, and how it controls the motion of planets and stars. It covers Newton’s discoveries, black holes, space travel, and more, in simple UK English with plenty of fascinating facts.
This clear and engaging guide explains how forces and motion affect your daily life. Learn about gravity, friction, and Newton’s laws in a fun, understandable way. Discover how science helps explain everything from walking to riding a bike.
