Physics & Such


In Physics this year I expect to learn things like why a ball keeps going up when you throw it. And why it would be wise to wear a seat belt while riding in a car and how it can affect your life if you don’t. I would like to learn little things such as the cause of tides. I expect to learn just exactly what physics is and how it pertains to my life.

I think that studying physics is important just like studying any other subject would be important. It is important to know about the things around you and how they work. For example if you know about how a seat belt in a car and how it can save your life in certain situations you will be more inclined to wear it and it can one day end up saving your life. Knowing physics could be useful for people who see a science career in their future. Physics could be useful for athletes such as baseball players. If a player knows the science in a successful hit, then they could train themselves to hit successful hits and be successful baseball players.

I have a lot of questions about physics considering I really do not know much of anything about the subject of physics. So for starters, what exactly does physics study? Are there various types of physics? What sort of physics are we going to be doing? Is there a lot of math in physics?

In physics this year my main goal is to do well. I would like to get good grades throughout the year along with being challenged and remaining interested in what we are learning. Obviously one of my goals would be to learn a lot and another would be to decide whether physics is something that I would like to pursue later in life or not.

  1. I like that your blog uses many examples! The part of your blog that was similar to mine was the fact that neither of us know exactly what "Physics" is. You used a lot more examples than I did but I feel like it made your blog more relatable. I think it's great and I don't think I would change anything about it!
