Skills obtained through learning Physics

 What is the main goal of Physics and every Physicist out there?

The goal is to understand the behaviour of matter and energy on every level...This means that we look out into the universe to understand and into the smallest parts found on Earth to understand. When looking into becoming a Physicist, remember that you will learn all about theoretical and experimental techniques by studying the laws and properties of motion, heat, light, electricity, radiation, magnetism, particles and matter. These eight subtopics form the core and basis of everything we learn in Physics. The combinations might be different and the way they are integrated vary vastly BUT that is what makes physics related discoveries so exciting!


So clearly physics matter :)

Anyway back to the point. The various skills you learn from physics centre around problem-solving, communication, technical, and research/project development skills. A breakdown of how you learn these skills are as follows:

    Problem-solving skills: To break down problems into smallest components, performing calculations,     modelling complex systems, data analysis, reviewing relevant literature, designing equipment for             experiments, and creating computer simulations based on experiment hypothesis.

    Communication skills: summarising research findings, writing research proposals, giving seminars     or speaking at conferences on physics topics, teaching basic physics ideas, preparing technical                 reports, contributing to project teams, and radio, TV or phone communication. (As you can see             languages and language learning will be important for this skill! Join us on YouTube to improve             your physics and language skills)

    Technical skills: metal shop abilities, equipment design, electronics design and repair, cryogenics,         computer programming, and medical imaging techniques.

    Research/Project development skills: reviewing literature, developing theory, testing hypotheses,         organising ideas and materials, defining ideas, developing ideas, generating ideas, and integrating         theoretical approaches for testing said ideas.

The more you study Physics and learn about the world around you, the more you will see that nothing is coincidence...

Brain food! 15 to eat for mental performance...

Image
 What you eat determines your performance in a day...If you choose to eat processed foods (any food from any type of container, box, powder, bag, flash frozen or tin) your body needs to work harder to process it and get what it needs from the food. If you choose to eat non-processed foods (any food which is fresh and straight from the soil or butchery) then your body can easily process it and extract what it needs, since the substance being processed is familiar to your body. Processed foods are not familiar to your body. So let's jump into some detail to establish why each food helps your brain... 1. Avocados - helps to keep your blood sugar levels steady and contains vitamin K and folate which prevents blood clots in the brain. It also improves brain function in memory and concentration areas. It also contains vitamins B and C which are vitamins which need to be restored to your body daily. 2. Beetroot - reduce inflammation, high in antioxidants and helps your blood get rid of t...

Study methods for Physics!

Image
  As with any subject, there are some strategies that you can use and follow to make sure that you achieve your goals within the subject! First we will cover some general pointers for studying Physics which you can apply to any subject...then we will continue on to methods which are specifically useful for Physics itself. We have added some links to help you find some of the sites and resources we recommend... General pointers for studying: 1. Master the basics of physics: This means that you find the core ideas and theories related to physics and make sure that you clearly understand these aspects. These will consist of the most likely problems you could encounter in exams, the basic principles and concepts that the subject is based on. Then you need to see how these core principles are linked to one another to create a whole picture of the subject. An example of such a basic understanding is shown below... 2. Strengthen your math skills: This is useful to do when studying ...

Current projects!

Lately it has been fun to prepare some new and exciting additions for our YouTube channel concerning IGCSE Physics and also A-level Physics. We look forward to starting our posts on the exciting new content we are working on for the channel . What you can look forward to in future, will consist of more interactive lessons where topics are also demonstrated along with some equations for practice. We aim to keep the videos short and to the point, while providing maximum content exposure so that it can be used for review purposes and also to help students who might not be native English speakers. We encourage you to view the material we have already posted and comment any questions or suggestions to help us help you more efficiently. Our aim is to create a reviewable foundation that any student in Physics can benefit from as supplementary to their current school/university lessons. We invite you to comment on this blog post and our YouTube content !
