Physics for Thursday 2 Feb

Hi Physics students!

Sorry that I’ll not be in school today. Please complete the following:

  1. Assignment 1 [should have been done already]
  2. Practical 02 (be sure to attach the paper with pin holes and the graph). [This should also really also be complete by now!]
  3. Assignment 2: Reflection [you should have enough time to complete this during today’s lesson] I will collect this next lesson.

Please pass 1. and 2. to the physics rep who will leave them in my pigeon hole.

Why Study Physics?

What is Physics?

Physics is a  science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe. In the broadest sense, physics (from the Greek physikos) is concerned with all aspects of nature on both the macroscopic and submicroscopic levels.

Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behaviour through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves.

 

 

What is Science?

Science is the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.

Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

The word science comes from the Latin “scientia,” meaning knowledge.

 

What is the Scientific Method?

 

 

 

 

What is psudeoscience?

May be an image of text that says "Science Willingness to change with new evidence Pseudoscience Ruthless peer Fixed ideas review Takes account of all new discoveries No peer review Invites criticism Selects only favourable discoveries Sees criticism as conspiracy Verifiable results Limits claims of usefulness Non-repeatable results Claims of widespread usefulness Accurate measurement "Ball-park" measurement httsp//a/oteoo http://perceptivereality. weebly. com/"

What can I do with my Physics degree?

Welcome to Sec 3 Physics!

Welcome to your Sec 3 IP Physics class – 2023

Your Teacher is Mr Shone mark_shone@nygh.edu.sg

Please bookmark this site: physics.shone.sg – we will be using it most lessons.

Please ensure that you download the Google Classrooms App and have enrolled in “2023 Sec 3 Physics“. Important announcements will be posted in the classroom and all the materials are accessible there.

The code is (vzq7tyu)

Hardcopy notes will be passed to you during the first physics lesson.

Softcopy notes can be downloaded from Google Classroom and you may use these (in place of the hardcopy notes) if you prefer.

We will be using the following textbook:
