Journal for physics lessons done by Yarrow Bedwin

Lesson One
I learned about the origins of physics, and how people of ancient Greece set the base of physics for future generations to iron out the kinks. Even if they had some theories wrong like how the world is only made of a certain amount of elements, they still started the ball rolling, Later people like Galileo would work of those theories and find out the theories closer to what we follow today. It also takes about the scientific method which is the set of steps you go through when conducting an experiment to make it repeatable.

Lesson two
This lesson is how to do scientific notation. Including how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. And also how to convert a number into scientific notation. It also included how to round numbers properly, i.e. how many significant digits are there.

Lesson three 
This was the unit on how to convert units to there units, whether it be from feet to meters of mm to km. This unit teaches you how to do that and how to properly write in down so that it is easily figured out and is not likely to lead to mistakes.

Lesson four
This is the introduction into basic vectors, and it covers all the basics that you need two know, like how to draw them, how to find the value of a vector and how to add them together if possible.

Lesson five
This shows us another way to solve for vectors using Pythagoras.

Lesson six
This is about relative velocity, how objects affected when moving in a straight line and then having a force pushing against it. Unlike 4 and 5 which have questions like, a car went south for 5 km for 2 min and the west for 12 km for 4 min what was the cars total velocity. In lesson 6 we are introduced to questions like, a plane is flying at 105 km per hour. but there's a cross wind of 15 km per hour at E 20 S if they want to reach at town that is 550 N 70 W, what does there velocity have to be.

Lesson seven
Lesson seven is a little bit of a step back to basics, it goes through everything you need to know about displacement, and whats the difference between distance and displacement. It also covers how to derive displacement from graphs.


Lesson eight
This is just the basics on velocity, how to calculate it and how to find the average etc...

Lesson nine
This is the more in depth parts of velocity, like how to calculate instantaneous velocity and how to use a velocity time graph and how to find acceleration from a velocity time graph.



Lesson ten
It's an introduction to acceleration and kinematics, pretty much just how you use certain values to calculate other values centered around acceleration questions. You use 4 equations.

Lesson eleven
This unit is all about how to calculate the values of an object falling, meaning that you use 4 equations to solve for the value that you require, it includes a given value, gravity. Meaning that you can solve for anything with only 2 values.
