FY01-02 Physics as a natural Science

Teacher: Susanna Hietanen

Today we are going to get to know each other and then
we will go to Vellilä to get you your laptops.

If you think your guardian has not given the permit in Wilma,
please send them a message!



Take a pair and find out a few things about them
(name, where are from, hobbies etc.)

Tell me and the other class about your pair

Write these questions in your notebook

1) What is physics?

2) What do we study in physics?

3) How has physics influenced the development of society?

4) Who needs physics? Give at least five examples.

Then find the answers with your pair

Next task is to go and get you your laptops in Vellilä
If you think your guardian has not given the permit in Wilma,
please send them a message.

Physics is a natural science that studies different phenomena in nature. We can divide it in two groups: theoretical physics and applied physics. Do you know the difference between these two? We can also divide it in two groups: classical physics from 1600 until 1900 and modern from 1900.

We study what happens between objects in nature: we can study different objects (humans, cars, balls, buildings, atoms) and forces (gravity, electromagnetic force, strong and weak nuclear force)
