Welcome to 10th Grade PhysicsIn this course, we will hone our abilities to use science as thinking. We will observe, question, test and question some more! Physics aims to describe the phenomenon of the natural world. We will strive to understand how the universe works and to develop our scientific literacy. This course will look at Physics through a conceptual lense as opposed to a mathematical one. My hope is to support my students in uncovering the beauty of Physics and to build a strong foundation of comprehension.

Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not Philosophy. This is Physics. ~Albert Einstein
Photographs of Physics
Have you ever thought about what a photograph actually is? How do these magical devices we carry around in our pockets have the ability to record a specific moment in time in the form of an image? I'll give you a hint, it's not magic, it's Physics. What is a rainbow? Why is the sky blue? How can we take pictures of particles too small for the eye to detect? These are all questions we will explore in our optics unit. We will aim to define "light" and prove our understanding by taking our own photographs of Physics.
