Physics

• The student has learned about the concept of force and motion through hands-on experiments, demonstrating an understanding of inertia and how objects move in the presence of forces.
• They have developed an understanding of simple machines such as pulleys and levers through building and testing their functionality, showing an application of mechanical advantage in real-world scenarios.
• The activity has also allowed the student to explore the principles of energy and its various forms, including potential energy and kinetic energy, through constructing roller coasters and analyzing the interplay between potential and kinetic energy during a ride.
• Through these physics activities, the student has also gained an understanding of the concept of magnetism and its application in everyday life, as well as the relationship between electricity and magnetism in electromagnetism.

Encourage continued development by exploring more hands-on experiments and practical applications of physics concepts, such as building scaled models of bridges or investigating the physics of sports through analyzing the trajectories and forces involved in different games and activities.
