Growth - Physics - Modern Physics
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Randhawa.
Ever wondered why the sky is blue, grass is green or why lighting and thunder occur, and buildings move in an earthquake or why the sun glows and what exactly is solar power? Physics helps us to understand why things in the natural world happen the way they do. Investigative physics enables us to explore and explain physical phenomena through practical investigation by collecting, graphing, writing reports, helping to revise or create new theories and, in the process modernizing physics!
This course is highly recommended if you want to take PHYSICS in Horizon.
