I learned many concepts in this class that I wouldn't have learned in any other class. Most of everything I learned is on other blog posts.
Physics is enjoyable for me because I am finally learning the "behind the scenes" of what's going on when objects are in motion. Many questions I had about why something happens have been answered by taking this class. For example, I always wondered why a ball would still bounce up and down in your hand when you were in a car. Why wouldn't it go flying straight through the back window? I am glad I took this class over the summer. I am also really glad I have friends who I can enjoy this difficult class with. I can rely on them for help, and they make it fun. Four to six hours everyday seem like nothing!
In physics, the concepts were really hard for me to understand the first time around. Since this class is so compressed, we had to learn everything really quickly. The ideas and concepts kept getting harder and harder. This is an ongoing challenge for me, but I've fixed the problem by asking Mr. Blake and Colin for help, asking my wunnerful table mates and going to extra help after school. Because I don't understand everything as well, I need to spend more time on homework.
