What I Learned In Physics, First Semester...
This first semester, I learned many things in Physics. I learned about Kinematics, which is the science of movement. We did a fun pendulum lab, and I also learned that spam musubi’s are kicked and thrown very often, in the name of science. I also learned about momentum and collisions, which was fun because we got to crash cars together on a track. We also found out that using water balloons in Physics is actually quite fun. We heard the story of the rebels who fired their cannon straight up into the air while on a moving cart, and the tale of the amazon who was chased by the piranha people. Energy was quite fun to learn about also, as it gave me an idea as to how much actual “work” doing anything takes. I learned that a myriad of forces affects everything we do, even when still. There are also rules to how these forces work, and for every force, there is an opposing, opposite one. Also, Isaac Newton was a boss. He actually discovered amazing things about how our world works, so much so that his Laws are a large part of what Physics is based on. So, if Isaac Newton can do it, why can’t everyone? I think that the most important thing that Physics has taught me is that you can achieve anything…as long as you take into account the Force you are using, the friction of the surface you’re on, the acceleration of gravity, velocity, mass, yaddayadda….oh…and MASS IS NOT WEEEEIIIIGHT!!!! Thank you Physics!

Very interesting to see what you learned the first semester.
