First day questions.

What do you expect to learn in Physics this years?

I don't really know what physics is, but I think it has something to do with studying how the natural world works. So I guess we would study what friction is and how it slows down objects, maybe we'll even learn why and how tornadoes suck stuff up and throw it somewhere else. The atomic bomb might have something to do with physics so we'll probably learn about how that works and we could possibly compare how chemistry and physics relate.

Why do you think studying Physics is important.

Physics is still a new subject to me so i'm not one hundred percent sure why we need it, but I think it has something to do with studying how the natural world reacts with itself. I know its effected our lives by discovering things like gravity and lightning. I also hear a lot about physics and space so it might play a big part in human space exploration and I might be confusing this for chemistry but I also think physics played a part in discovering the Higgs boson which explains the properties of matter and its mass.


What questions do you have about Physics

What is Physics, I hear its a huge subject that is extremely important and overlaps with other science disciplines  often. Why is it so important what does it do and why do I need to take a class on it, those are my three main questions.

What goals do you have about Physics this year

 My main goal is to master physics. I want to be able to know the basic principles of physics and be able to explain it to somebody else. If I can explain it to somebody in an easily understandable and coherent way then I would have developed a deep understanding for this course. Grade wise I would really like to stay above and A and maybe even move up to honors.
