In physics this year, I expect to learn a variety of things
including how credit card machines read your information when you swipe your
card, what properties of light allow us to see, and the causes of the ocean
tides. I think studying physics is significant because in general it will help
us understand the world around us and unlike most sciences it will help us
understand the properties behind everyday occurrences. It’s also important to
learn physics because it will help us be more aware of our surroundings.
Lastly, physics can open up a wide range of interests that a student might want
to look into more specifically. I definitely have a number of questions about
physics considering I have never taken physics class but I have a few main
questions that I hope will be answered by the end of this course. The first
question again involves ocean tides. I live on the beach so I’ve always been
curious about the tides but more specifically the size of the waves. I know
that waves tend to be bigger when there is a storm or strong wind but what else
affects the wave size? Another question I have involves the class itself. Looking
at all titles of the units I’m just curious as to how we will be testing these
different subjects. For instance, how will we be testing an ice skaters spin?
