DOOOONE :(

Physics is all kinds of things! From pendulums to the speed of light, we learned so much in this class. If i were to google the proper definition of "Physics" I would come up with "The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy," but to  me, it will always be "The best Summer School class ever." We learned sooo much in such a short span of time. We rolled, dropped, shot, threw, pumped, moved, and broke all kinds of items from eggs to rockets and a bunch of things in between. I admit, I had a ton of fun in this class and 6 weeks of physics definitely flew by! I completely understand all of the concepts we were taught in this class and even those crazy equations! You made it really fun and easy to learn everything without rushing us or stretching a lesson longer than needed. 


Everywhere where I go, all i can think about are Physics. Seriously. When i'm on the bus, and it comes to a stop the whole bus whiplashes back and now i know why. Newton's first law: objects in motion tend to stay in motion! Its crazy. I learned all about velocity and mass, even the difference between that and weight because they definitely aren't the same thing! Even learning about acceleration and collisions was fun! The equations with used, DAT VAT VAD and D=VT will probably stay in my mind forever. We learned about things like gravity, which pulls at a force of 9.8m/s^2, projectiles and the rate at which an object would fall, conversions from kilo to centi, to our recent lessons including waves and the speed of light in certain media. 


I can say I liked everything about this class. Even those darn exams and everynight blog posts weren't so bad after all. I loved how the labs were fun and educational at the same time, also that we had many opportunities to work in other groups, and not only ours but those around us. I like how we used the remotes to answer questions and do some review! It really helped before those tests to go over things that we didn't understand and while using them on the test it was simple to just plug in our answers on the remotes. And I especially liked your music playlist! It made it all the better! Also, the short breaks we got between actually learning were good, and the long lunch break we got was helpful because even if we didn't finish at 2:30, it gave us more time to get our food, come back, and then be immersed in physics. 
I know we learned more than the guys next door! haha the ones in back of the boards that is.. But i think we had more fun than either class! I wouldn't change anything about it. :D
A little something from every unit, sorry it's a very bad picture!
