How to study physics!

how to study physicsPhysics is a subject that often gives students many headaches as it includes complex mathematical problems. However, it is a fascinating natural science that has contributed greatly to helping us understand the world around us and to develop technologically. We discuss some top tips below to help you gain an understanding of physics and achieve good exam results in this subject.
  
How to Study Physics: 5 Techniques to Improve your Memory 

Master the Basics: 
Physics is based on a number of central theories from which everything else develops. It is therefore very likely that the problems you will have to solve in the exam will be based on these core concepts or a variation of these. Consequently, instead of trying to memorize complex problems, it is advisable to assimilate the basic concepts and theories which will help you understand the underlying principles and the connection between different subjects. 

Strengthen Your Maths Skills: 

As already mentioned, if you are studying Physics then you will see that it incorporates many mathematical elements. This means that you would easily master this subject if you were adept at tackling multiple formulas and problems.

Simplify:

Try to simplify the situation as much as possible. The Physics problem you are reading may seem difficult to solve at first but take another look and begin to analyze it and you will realize that is easier than you first thought. 

Use Drawings:

A great way to implement the point above is through drawings or graphics. We have already discussed the benefits of mind maps but drawings can also be essential when in order to understand and study physics. 

Use Flashcards to Study:

Take note of new words, units of measure, general principles and other concepts that arise. This will help you follow the thread of theory and strengthen the new information which will have positive consequences when faced with problem solving.

    Physics is an interesting subject that could be applied in our daily life. It allows students to translate verbal information in to pictures and then they tends to analyze it to do mathematical models to solve the problems.

    Really "chapeau bas" like they say in french for those who can actually understand this subject. Learning physics was catastrophic and teaching it was even more hectic.

attending educational media and technology courses

It is my pleasure to attend such course in the spring semester. This course is full of beneficial information that make us more accessible to computer applications and programs. It makes our work more easier as teachers. From the beginning of the semester the classes are going fluently and everything seems to be fine. I am waiting for having more ideas about using computers to facilitate our job.

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!

Learning process in old days and nowadays

The learning process had a huge progress from old days to nowadays.  Education in the past was specific and the number of schools was small, which was only for the wealthy. In the past, students with special needs were hidden away and forgotten. It was not easy at all. Students used to study under the street lamp, bulbs, candles, due to not much electricity; also they used to arrive to the schools on their feet, despite of storms, wars and many bad circumstances they faced. But the good aspect that there was not much electronics, so children spend their time reading book, novels and helping in the house chores. Whereas, education nowadays is different.  Learning now becomes easier and interactive than the olden times, which holds many ways for students to educate, may be books, internet, softcopies and others. Also, it is much easier to care for documents since they are in the shape of e book as well as pdf, which improves the standard of education. Moreover, te...
