Before today, I would have never known who William Rowan Hamilton was. The only reason that I now know of him is because of a fantastic singing video about him. (It's a cool video, you should watch it!) Hamilton was an Irish mathematician in the 19th century who made many contributions to optics and classic mechanics. He was crazy smart. He spent his youth learning languages and then at 15 went on to discover an error in a physics theory along with contributing to other ideas. Hamilton discovere
Over the course of the past week, I have started to notice that I tend to drop everything. Anything from hair ties to binders to my phone. I am honestly surprised that most of the things that I have dropped have not broken. When we started learning about drag forces and air resistance, I began to notice how long the items take to fall. My math homework definitely seems to take longer to reach the floor compared to a small hair tie that seems to fly right to the ground. Even though we just took t
So while I was avoiding homework, I went onto Instagram and started scrolling through the explore page. While doing that, I stumbled upon something that I realized I could totally use for this blog about physics. I did not know what they were called at first so I pulled up the Google and typed in "pendulum wave thingy" and now I have learned that it is called Newton's Cradle. The one that I first saw was really cool because it was glow in the dark which caught my attention right away. The video

a) 1. Learning is fast 2. Knowledge is composed of isolated facts 3. Being good at a subject is a matter of inborn talent 4. I am good at multi-tasking
For me, I feel like all of these beliefs have an impact on me because I definitely have believed in all of them at some point in time. The final one about multi-tasking makes me think the most because I do check my phone while studying and try to get other things done all while attempting t
Hello to everyone who will ever read this! I hope you enjoy!
For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for crafts and yarn. I love crocheting and creating blankets for family members and people in need. I am not sure if there is such a thing as a professional crocheter (I don't think that's even a word) but I would totally become one. Maybe I can do that when I retire or something when I get older. Because I am super busy most of the year, I sadly do not get very much time to enjoy c
