I am so excited about physics! I’m hoping to share what I learned in a fun and exciting way that will help you become knowledgeable about the things that God has created on this earth using the simple laws of physics. Let’s do this!
Know/Understand:
(First of all, don't forget to write down your miracles each day.) The world we live in is miraculous!
We are going to start with basics and have fun with it!
What is Physics? Physics is the study of how things move and behave in nature.
What are the laws of Physics? They are precise statements about how things behave.
Who made the laws of Physics? No one, Scientists only discovered them! (Maybe God made the laws of physics)
How do you discover the laws of Physics? You make good observations!
All sciences start with the scientific method.
The starting point for the scientific method is an observation!
2. Choose ONE experiment to do that has to do with motion, force or gravity. Here are a few ideas. You do not have to use these experiments, you can come up with your own. If you do your own, answer these questions.
- What is your objective? (What is your experiment about?)
- What is your Hypothesis? (What do you think will happen?)
- What was your process? (How does it work?)
- What are your observations? (What happened each time?)
- What are your conclusions? (In the end, what was the final thing that happened?)
A. Do the experiment several times and make observations about what happened each time. The papers in the listed experiments make it easy to write down all of your observations. Print them off and fill them out to make it really easy.
B. Make a video of your experiment that you can show us. It should be 2 minutes or less. Make it fun! Think of it like a quick commercial about your experiment. You can do these experiments with a family member to make it more fun!
Become/Serve:
In your Book of Mormon you can find the scientific method! It's in Alma. You might know it as experiment upon the word. Find the steps of the scientific method in Alma. Vanbucks if you can show me the exact verses.
