Welcome to Physics!

In this Physics class I expect to learn how credit cards work, how airbags keep me safe, what causes ocean tides, how someone wins a game of tug-o-war, and so much more! I expect to learn these things because they are mentioned in the syllabus, but they are also things that apply to peoples everyday life! I believe studying Physics is important because it teaches you not just about why things work in the world, but also how they work!Some questions I have about Physics may be what kind of question should I ask an what kind of question can I answer in this class? Is there a common question i should use? Also, what happens in everyday life that applies to physics, and what types of things will I learn? I think it would be nice to apply what i learn throughout the year. My main goal for physics this year would be trying to really understand what I am learning. I also want to use what I learn and understand to look at the world in a different way. I hope that my efforts in class show with my grades.
