Dear Students and Parents,
This year promises to be filled with discovery, challenge, and a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles that govern our universe.
What we did this Week
1. Course Overview and Expectations
During the first few days, we reviewed the course syllabus, including the topics we’ll cover, important dates, and expectations for class conduct and assignments. Understanding what lies ahead will help everyone stay on track throughout the year.
2. Introduction to Physics
We began by discussing the nature of physics, its significance in the real world, and how it connects to everyday phenomena. This was an interactive session where students could share what they find intriguing about physics and what they hope to learn.
3. Essential Skills Review
To ensure everyone is ready to tackle the challenges ahead, we reviewed some essential mathematical skills and basic concepts that would be crucial for understanding more complex topics later in the year. This was a great time for students to ask questions and clarify any doubts.
4. First Lab Session
Toward the end of the week, we dived into our first hands-on experiment! This lab introduced students to the scientific method, safety protocols, and how to record and analyze data effectively. It was a fantastic opportunity to see physics in action!
