We can see physics. Unlike studying chemistry, where everything is on the molecular level, physics can be flawlessly applied to everyday situations. For example, jumping, opening a door, unscrewing a lid, and pouring your morning coffee into your favorite mug.
This is exactly why knowledge of physics is so important, because it is all around us, and it is important to know how the world works. Another reason learning physics is important is because then you will not embarrass yourself and confuse it with other natural events. For example, some people may think that looking into a mirror is physics, however, it is not. You do not want to make yourself look unintelligent by making mistakes like these. Some can speak from experience. Also, Physics is a great conversation starter. For example, when your friend drops their cell phone on the ground, you can share with them the rate at which the cell phone dropped. 9.8 meters per second squared to be exact. Knowing fun tid bits like these are a great way to steal someone's heart.
A key component of physics is learning good problem solving skills. Problem solving is thinking critically and applying what you know, in order to solve a problem that you are unfamiliar with.
I am facsinated by physics and how it explains the way the world works. Being a swimmer, I want to know how objects move under water, and why. Also, I am interested in the use of simple machines, and how the distance that an object moves, is inverse to the amount of force needed to move it. And lastly, I want to go metacognative and learn how Physics was discovered, and how we know what we know.
In Physics this year, I hope to gain a better understanding of the science behind everyday occurrences. Also, given that Physics will be a challenging course, I plan to practice better time management skills. And lastly, I want to continue to push myself to master material and learn the importance of working hard towards something.
