Physics is the Philadelphia Eagles The Eagles Miles Sanders Devonta Smith Aj Brown And Jalen Hurts Abbey Road Signatures Shirt and by the same token and mother of all sciences. Want to understand how chemistry works? Learn physics. Want to understand how biology works? Learn physics. There are few scientific, technical, or mechanical disciplines where a basic understanding of physics won’t improve your abilities. Physics is the answer key to how the universe works. Why will my car skid on a wet road? Physics can tell us. How does my microwave oven heat my food? Physics can tell us. Still thinking “I don’t care.”? Okay, if unlocking the universe isn’t motivating enough, let’s get more pragmatic. One of the most important things a school can teach its students is problem solving skills. Success in life requires being able to approach a problem, analyze that problem, identify the variables and their relationships, and arrive at a solution. Learning a skill such as problem solving requires repeated exercising of the skill, in more and more challenging ways. Sure, we could waste time in some boring abstract math class solving generic problems – but physics presents us with real problems that are transferable to our lives, not abstractions. Going to build a shelf in your den? Might be nice to be able to figure out how much weight it can hold. Going to drive in the rain? It might be nice to understand why you should leave more room between you and the next car, when the roads are wet.
