Chaos
Every atom consists of charged particles, which can attract or repel each other. This section explores the forces of attraction or repulsion between various substances and their connection to electricity.
Compression Waves & Sound
Waves account for how two of our senses work, hearing and seeing. This section covers compression waves (waves that travel through a medium by compressing the medium in equal intervals) and some electromagnetic waves, exploring how waves are produced, how they interact with each other, and how some waves produce sound.
Electricity & Magnetism
Every atom consists of charged particles, which can attract or repel each other. This section explores the forces of attraction or repulsion between various substances and their connection to electricity.
Force & Motion
Everyday people experience force and motion. Forces cause motion. This section will explore the connection between force and motion and how it affects technology and engineering.
Light & Optics
Light includes electromagnetic waves of all sizes of wavelengths, frequencies, and energies. Light particles, called photons, have properties of particles and waves, a combination that makes light very interesting. With the invention of lasers, we have gained precise control over light and revolutionized many areas of research and technology.
Material Science
Material science looks at the relationship between the structure of materials at the atomic or at the molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. This section explores the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering.
Quantum Mechanics
An emerging branch of physics, brought into the spotlight by Albert Einstein in the 1900s, Quantum Mechanics looks at the behavior of matter and its interactions on the atomic and subatomic scales according to established principles.
Space & the Universe
One of the largest branches of physics is devoted to studying our vast universe. This section studies things such as gravity waves, black holes and stars.
Thermodynamics & Heat
When your coffee or hot chocolate cools before you get to drink it, is because of thermodynamics, the study of energy, work, and heat often at the molecular and atomic level. This section explores the relationship between energy, work, and heat and how it impacts scientific studies and everyday life.
