how to deal with dyslexic students:
  • Taping lectures rather than writing notes, and listening to books on tape rather than reading them.
  • Using computer software to check spelling and grammar.
  • Using flash cards.
  • Making and creating an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
  • providing multisensory experiences for students related to each book that they read, such as using stories and coloring pages.
  • choosing rhyming books with high repetition of words and phrases.
  • Playing sound matching games.
  • Trying to complete a lesson at one sitting. An incomplete lesson is entirely lost on them.
  • Using Mind maps for all subjects.

What is physics??

What is physics? The dictionary definition of physics is "the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them", but that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting. physicists ask really big questions like: how did the universe begin? how will the universe change in the future? how does the sun keep on shining?  what are the basic building blocks of matter? If you thi nk these questions are fascinating, then you'll like physics!  Physics is the knowledge of nature, which is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves!
