kyraminchak12 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Hi everyone! My name is Kyra (said like keeruh) and i am a junior in high school. I play field hockey year round; i play for a school team in the fall and then for a travel team in the off season. I've been on the varsity team for my school since my freshman year. i also love music, i've been singing in school choir since i was 9 and now i sing in my school's chorale, which is the advanced level choir. I have one older sister named Tarie (said like terry) who is a freshman in college about an hour and a half away at school. I am taking physics mainly because my chem teacher last year told me it would extremely help for ap chem which i plan to take senior year. i hope to learn throughout the year why my old teacher said that and how chem and physics are so closely related. Since my current physics teacher told me that physics is literally "the study of everything" i'm interested to learn what the curriculum actually includes. I'm also looking forward to learning more about gravity and how everything works in relation to physics Quote
FizziksGuy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Howdy Kyra! Welcome to physics, and you're absolutely right, physics should help your chemistry, and vice versa (chemistry is actually a subset of physics, and we'll overlap on more than a few topics) -- but we'll start out the year studying motion, forces, collisions, explosions, and energy transfers. Then we'll learn about electricity, magnetism, circuits, then transition into waves, sound, light, optics, then finally finish up with modern physics -- atoms and their pieces, and some other cool aspects of waves and matter.

aschu103 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 it was fun failing at building our marshmallow tower today! Quote
wi-000783 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 the study of everything is an important study Quote
isaacgagarinas Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 That is very interesting Kyra that you play field Hockey I never knew! That is very neat you are looking forward to the Gravity unit, I think I am too now! Quote
LMCsings Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Kyra! You do such interesting stuff! I like how you explained how to say your name! I'm also excited for physics! Quote
DelaneyBest Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Nice Kyr, have a good year this year! Quote
heather_heupel Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Hi Kyra :-) I think physics will be a fun but difficult class Quote
Mary_E27 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Although physics is important, Make sure you study for part checks in Chorale, because they're really important. Quote
