Particle Physics and The Standard Model


Particle physics is the science that studies the nature of subatomic particles which form our universe, which addresses us to the question what is matter made up of. It shows that particles are produced due to particles collisions which are classifies into three families. These particles form the molecules and atoms with the help of four basic forces. The Standard Model describes strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, using the gauge bosons. Types of gauge bosons are the gluons, W-, W + and Z bosons, and photons. The standard model also contains 24 fundamental particles 12 particles and their associated anti-particle, which are the components of all matter. Finally, the standard model predicted the existence of a type of boson known as the Higgs boson. On July 4, 2012, physicists announced with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN they have found a new particle that behaves like what is expected of the Higgs boson.

Branches of physics

Importance of physics in our daily life In our daily life we hardly find a device in which laws of physics are not involved. Pulleys are used to lift heavy loads. Electricity is used to get light,heat and mechanical energy that drives fans and electric motors. Means of transportation such as car and aeroplanes,domestic appliances such as air conditioner,refrigerators,vacuum cleaners,washing machines and microwave oven etc. The means of communication such as radio,TV,telephone and computer are the result of applications of physics.These devices have made our lives much easier and faster and more comfortable than the past. Computer is the invention of physics. 10 branches of physics and their definition Mechanics It is the study of motion of objects,its causes and effects. Sub branches of mechanics are: Classical mechanics Kinematics Dynamics Statistical mechanics Thermodynamics (Heat) It is the study of nature of heat,mode

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!

Students teams acheivement model (STAD)

 One of cooperative learning methods is Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD).  In STAD: students learn to be formed into groups of four or five members of different skills and  genders. The teacher gives a lesson. Students work in each group to ensure that all group members have mastered the lessons given. students carry out tests on the materials provided and work on their own. The objectives behind practicing STAD in classes are to:  Practice cooperative learning skills. Develop sense of responsibility between classmates. Ensure the automaticity of the materials. Promote sense of belonging and involvement. The method which STAD is applied: Phase 1: Instruction.  Introduces and develop the content. Phase 2: Transition to Teams. Teacher explains how teams will function. Phase 3: Team study. Teacher monitors groups and supports group’s efforts. Phase 4: Assessment. Individual students are formally assessed.
