What is physics? A presentation for class.

Intro

When lecturing physics, it is important to teach kids how to do physics, why things are the way they are and help them appreciate the wonderful world around us. It is with my great pleasure to announce the beginning of a series of lectures, resources and presentations for physics classes in elementary school, grades 7 and 8, starting with this presentation about what physics is.

I personally love physics, and I think that it provides an amazing view of the world from the tiniest constituents in quantum physics, to the grand scale of the universe, combining astronomy, and many areas of physics.

What does this presentation include?

In this presentation, you will learn everything you learn in your first physics class of the year, and get answers to these questions:

1. What is physics?
2. What areas does physics study?
3. What are the physical properties of objects?
4. What do physicists work on?
5. What is the scientific method?
6. How do I conduct good experiments?
7. How do I solve physics problems?

Also, all of these presentations will include (including this one):

• Fully researched and written text
• Images, illustrations and explanations
• Cool and interactive design
• Discussion points
• Experiments and projects
• Review questions from the day
• Examples, problems, all solved and explained

What this presentation is about

This presentation is meant for kids to explore themselves, or more importantly for teachers around the world to use in their physics classes, to introduce their students to the waters of physics. I do hope educators and teachers enjoy this presentation and use them in their classes, and also that the students themselves enjoy it. I put a lot of hard work into this and I hope I made someones day a little better by explaining them physics.

Don’t worry though, this isn’t the only presentation! Next up: we are covering area, volume, mass and temperature, the basic properties of matter. After that we will look into density, one value that differentiates objects from one another. And with that, our introduction is done. We dive into the waters of physics head on and explore our wonderful universe, one thought at a time.

And on a last note: all of this is free for everyone to use. Just make sure to credit the author if used for a public lecture or similar, but in class use without restrictions. And if you have any questions, about physics, astronomy, maths, science, you name it; you can always ask in the comments below.

Happy learning!
