The Science of Physics Physics Old Fort High School
What is physics? • Draw a picture of what physics means to you? • Create a list of the top 5 key words that describe physics • Class Debate for top 5 words • Create a definition that involves all 5 words (2 groups)
Course Outline • Mechanics • Properties of Matter • Heat • Sound and Light • Electricity and Magnetism • Atomic and Nuclear Physics
Tying a Shoe • HW: Create a lab write up for the following problem: How do you tie a shoe?
What is the Scientific Method? • Share your “scientific method” for tying a shoe. • Attempt the experiment as each scientist reads off their procedures. • What worked well on each write up? • What did not work well on each write up?
Scientific Method cont… • What is necessary in a lab write up? • What is expected in this class and beyond (higher education) for a lab write up? • Create a classroom Rubric for lab write ups. -Possibly use rubistar
The Scientific Method • The process that researchers use to carry out their investigations is often called the scientific method
What are we missing on this diagram? • Create your own flow chart to depict the scientific method…
Define the following words: • Model- • System- • Controlled Experiment-
Measurements in Experiments • Quantity-has magnitude, size, or amount • NO NAKED NUMBERS! Why??? • Name the farthest distance you have traveled? What is considered far? What is considered big, small, heavy, light? • Far, Big, Small, Heavy, Light are all relative without units!
