How you will Learn

Before Class: Review previous notes Read over old material Read new material During Class: TAKE NOTES! ASK QUESTIONS! ANSWER QUESTIONS!

After Lecture: Use class time to start worksheets/homework. Ask for help Work together

How to do well on evaluations:

Quizzes: Open note-Bring your notes Labs: Read the introduction Take careful measurements Show your work Complete all parts of the lab Ask questions Tests: Review notes Study together Complete your homework before the due date Review quizzes and Labs Get help before school at lunch or after school

What is
If it living it is biology. If it is chemicals it is chemistry If it is rocks it is geology Physics is everything else and can be applied to biology, chemistry and geology, so.. Physics is the study of just about everything!

Okay, you want a proper definition:

Physics is the study of the interactions between matter and energy.

Topics Covered: Introduction to physics Forces and Motion Force and Pressure Heat Waves and Light

Mechanics: The study of motion Kinematics The mathematical description of motion 1-D and 2-D motion

Dynamics The study of the forces that cause motion Newtons Laws Energy Momentum Fluids
