If you're moving,
or in something
that's moving...
Or watching something move,
or making something move...
(in unison)
That's physics!
Physics
is everything we see
and a lot of things
we can't see.
Many other sciences from
Biology to Chemistry
can actually be considered
branches of physics.
It's the basic playbook
of the universe.
It's the mechanics
of how things move
as well as the study
of heat, light, sound,
electricity, magnetism,
all the way down to
the structure of atoms.
Physics is the science of how
matter and energy interact.
Texting,
that needs physics.
(Chelsea)
Getting where you want
to go, relies on physics.
Gaming. Yes,
that's also physics.
Hi. I'm Chelsea.
And I'm Anzar.
We're two of the hosts
who will be taking you
through this course.
For the most part,
we'll be here
in the studio where
we'll do some cool demos
to break things
down for you.
(Chelsea)
We also have
Adrian and Emily,
who will be taking you to all
sorts of places around Georgia
to show you how physics plays
a role out in the real world.
Speaking of physics
in the real world,
joining us now is a special
guest, Dianna Cowern,
better known as
"Physics Girl"
to her massive
YouTube audience.
Physics Girl has helped
introduce millions of people
around the world to
the wonders of physics.
Hi, Dianna.
Thanks for joining us.
Thanks, Anzar
and Chelsea.
I am so excited
to be joining you.
"Physics in Motion"
looks amazing!
On my series,
"Physics Girl",
I also share my
passion for physics
with my audience
and show them how cool
and accessible the world
of science can be.
I love that your
series takes students
outside of the classroom
to show scientific concepts
playing a role
in our everyday lives.
The world of physics
can be kind of complex,
but I love how your series
breaks it down
to show that it can be
exciting and fun.
Like, students get to learn
about speed and velocity
at the Porsche
test track in Atlanta.
And learn about gravity
and air resistance
in an indoor
skydiving tunnel.
So cool!
I'm definitely looking
forward to checking out
the entire series.
It might even spark some
new ideas for "Physics Girl".
Well, I just wanted
to wish you all the best
as you embark
on your journey
through the amazing
world of physics.
Thanks, Dianna.
Here's a bit more about
what we'll cover
in this
instructional series.
How does
electricity work?
What is color?
How does sound travel?
What is speed and velocity?
And you will discover
the laws of physics
that govern all of
these things and more.
We do need to caution
you to make sure
you follow your
schools guidelines
concerning any type
of science experiment
before trying any of these
demonstrations yourself.
And always make sure you have
a teacher or parent present
before you attempt
any experiments.
(Chelsea)
There will some math involved
that we will
break down for you.
But if you find yourself
needing a little extra help,
we've got you covered.
(Anzar)
Check out our
Closer Look videos
in the
Support Materials section.
These videos will walk you
through a wide range
of problems
step by step.
Just look for this
Closer Look symbol
at the bottom
of the screen,
and that will let you
know when additional help
is available.
You'll also find
toolkits for each video
in the
Support Materials section.
The toolkits
are companion guides
that contain
downloadable experiments,
three-dimensional task,
practice problems
and note-taking guides.
(Anzar)
Teachers, you can request
the teacher version
of the toolkit for access
to instructional strategies
and solutions to all
of the toolkit problems.
So, are you ready
to impress your friends,
your teacher,
and maybe even yourself?
So settle in,
grab a pencil and a paper,
or something
to take notes with...
And let's journey through
the exciting world of...
"Physics in Motion".
