  • Course Rationale:

    Basic Physics is designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles that govern the natural world. This course covers essential topics such as mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and basic thermodynamics. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical application, students will develop a foundational understanding of physical concepts and the laws that describe the behavior of matter and energy.

    Introduction:

    Welcome to Physics: Understanding the Universe

    Physics is the foundational science that seeks to understand the natural laws governing the universe. From the motion of everyday objects to the mysteries of black holes and quantum mechanics, physics provides us with a framework to explore and comprehend the world around us.

    In this course, we will delve into the core principles that define physical reality, from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to modern physics concepts like relativity and quantum theory. Whether you're aiming to build a strong foundation for advanced scientific studies or simply looking to satisfy your curiosity about how the universe works, this course will equip you with the knowledge and problem-solving skills that are essential in both academic and real-world applications.

    As we progress, we'll not only focus on theoretical understanding but also on practical experiments and real-life applications that demonstrate the relevance of physics in technology, engineering, and beyond. By the end of this course, you'll be well-versed in the fundamental concepts of physics and prepared to apply this knowledge in various scientific and professional fields.

    Assessment Methods:




  • Discussion about the fundamentals of  Physics

    • Discuss the fundamentals of Physics.
    • Explore the history of science from ancient to modern times.
    • Facilitate introductions among participants.
    • Identify and set course expectations.
    • Provide a summary of the course content and completion requirements.
    • Review and understand the different components of the course outline.




  • TLS1 Active Learning Techniques: Incorporate interactive activities like group discussions, problem-solving sessions, and hands-on experiments to engage students and encourage critical thinking.
    TLS2 Conceptual Understanding: Focus on building a deep understanding of fundamental physics concepts rather than rote memorization. Use analogies, visual aids, and conceptual questions to clarify complex ideas.
    TLS3 Inquiry-Based Learning: Encourage students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and conduct experiments to explore physical phenomena. This approach promotes curiosity and a deeper understanding of scientific methods.
    TLS4 Scaffolded Learning: Break down complex topics into smaller, manageable parts. Gradually increase the difficulty level, ensuring that students master foundational concepts before moving on to more advanced topics.
    TLS5 Use of Simulations and Technology: Integrate digital tools, simulations, and virtual labs to demonstrate abstract concepts, visualize phenomena, and provide interactive learning experiences.
    TLS6 Flipped Classroom Model: Assign pre-lesson readings or videos to students, and use class time for collaborative problem-solving, discussions, and practical activities, maximizing the value of in-class learning.
    TLS7 Formative Assessments and Feedback: Regularly use quizzes, concept checks, and peer assessments to gauge student understanding and provide timely, constructive feedback to address misconceptions.
    TLS8 Real-World Applications: Connect physics concepts to real-world phenomena and technology to make the content relevant and engaging. Use case studies, projects, and examples from everyday life to illustrate practical applications.
    TLS9 Differentiated Instruction: Tailor teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities. Provide multiple pathways for students to explore topics, including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning resources.
    TLS10 Collaborative Learning Environments: Encourage group work and peer-to-peer teaching to promote collaboration, communication skills, and a supportive learning community where students can learn from each other.

    Dear Students,

    As we approach the end of the Fall 2024 semester, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve shared over the past few months. It has been a privilege to be a part of your academic growth and witness your dedication to learning and excellence.

    This semester has not been without its challenges, but I am proud of how each of you has persevered. From engaging in class discussions to tackling complex assignments and projects, your hard work and determination have not gone unnoticed.

    As you prepare for your final exams and assessments, I encourage you to stay focused, organized, and confident. Remember, success is not just about grades but also about the knowledge and skills you have gained along the way.

    To my graduating students, congratulations on reaching this significant milestone! You are now ready to take on the challenges of the professional world, and I am confident that you will make meaningful contributions to your fields.

    For those continuing their journey, I look forward to seeing your growth in the coming semesters. Never stop seeking knowledge, and always strive to improve.

    Finally, let me remind you that my door remains open for any academic or personal guidance you may need. Your success is my priority, and I am here to support you in any way I can.

    Thank you for making this semester a fulfilling and memorable one. Best of luck with your exams and future endeavors.
