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 ...

Skills obtained through learning Physics

Image
 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:     Proble...

Is physics useful? 8 uses...

Image
 As you can see in this picture above, it is quite clear why physics is useful in everyday life! We also have a topic based series on Physics on YouTube if you would like to get more access to topic based lessons. As they say on the Udemy blog " Even reading this article wouldn’t be possible without the physics-based ideas that played a huge role in the creation of computers and the internet. Every time you get in your car, you’re taking advantage of yet another benefit of what is often considered the most fundamental of all science fields." -  Udemy link Furthermore, using physics in the long run goes hand-in-hand with math skills. But other than that here are some of the skills and job fields that REQUIRE physics skills! Let's jump right in! 1. Physics is at the core of all medical study. If you dream of becoming a doctor, pharmacist, or pathologist then you need physics since all the tests that are done in the medical field would not be possible without the advances m...

5 Practical uses of physics during college and after education

Image
 There are some amazing points and skills developed when studying physics and this section will only look at a few of them...We also have some basic Physics topics on our YouTube channel , MEND Education, which will give some insight into physics! Join us there for more... Firstly physics allows us to figure out how the world around us works. It allows us to question and analyse what we see, don't yet understand and also stimulates our curious nature. Physics is not only limited to understanding things that humans have developed and created but also allows us to get fantastic insight into nature and how nature works! We can see connections and patterns around us and creatively guess how these work to give us ideas on how to further develop and create amazing useful things for ourselves and others. Secondly physics is useful since it stimulates and develops analytical skills, quantitative observation skills and data analysis skills. These three core skills then develop strong prob...

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...

ENGLISH LEARNING: Why starting with nouns is important...

Image
 Noun words are names for people, places or things. The names for things are the building blocks of any language and therefore starting with nouns when learning English will give you useful building-blocks to be able to at least express basic necessities. These words can, alone, speak of a person, creature, place, thing or thought. This is helpful when you are not sure how to link words together in a new language yet. It also helps others to try and understand what it is that you are trying to say, receive or express. There are different ways to recognise nouns and to tune your ears to recognising nouns. A noun literally refers to what you call or name a thing, place or person. For example, "I am Jessie." "Jessie" would be the name of the person and that is why it's a noun. Another example, "That is my dog, Spot." "Spot" and "dog" are nouns because "dog" tells you what thing we are talking about and "Spot" is wha...

The reason I want to help you MEND Education in your life.

  As a child I moved around a lot and went to about 11 different schools and in the middle somewhere also homeschooled for 4 years. I always felt bored and frustrated while in the school system and had the most fun during the homeschooled 4 years. I do not believe that homeschooling is the answer for all children at all, but it showed and taught me that school wasted a lot of my time by forcing me to follow the same pace as everyone else. I felt like a caged animal who didn't belong. This caused me to act out a lot during school since I did not know how to share what was wrong with me. I didn't have the ability yet to express myself in such a way that people could understand that I was bored in some subjects and felt lost in other subjects. My understanding an abilities were vastly different for each subject. For example, I had a natural ability and interest in languages and science but because of the slow pace that the teachers followed I got bored with the subjects and lost i...
