This Year In Physics...

What do you expect to learn in physic's this year?

I expect to learn about the ways that things work, such as what causes the ocean tides and how a team can win at Tug of War. In addition to learning the expected things about physics, I plan on learning how to become more of a deep learner in this class. I want to be able to understand the material in a way that will effect the way I see the world around me.


Why do you think studying physics is important?

I think that studying physics will give me a new idea of how everyday events and common activities occur. Studying physics will hopefully become something that sticks with me, and continue to teach me outside the classroom. My thoughts on physics is that it is the kind of subject that will continue to teach me even after leaving the class in the future.


What questions do you have about physics? 

Questions such as the ones I expect to learn sound interesting: How a baseball player can hit a home run is a question that I have. Why we lurch forward in a car when it comes to a stop, and how airbags keep us safe are questions I also have about physics.


What goals do you have for yourself in physics this year?

Three measurable goals that I have for myself are to be persistence in the sense of consistently finishing my work on time and with thoughtful answers that made me think. Being comfortable in class is something that I would like to strive for. I understand that physics is the kind of class where asking questions is something I will need to do, so being comfortable asking questions is something I will need to really work on. I would also like to see an effort grade that reflects my participation and enthusiasm for the class. I hope to earn a good effort grade, and continue improving to continue to raise it.
