Course Description:
Hello I'm Ms Rollan and I want to teach you Physical Science but please do not run away screaming. If you give me five minutes to try to convince you that Physical Science is not torture but instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff and if you give it a chance it will not only blow your mind but also give you would deeper understanding of your world.
This is just my opinion here but I think that understanding the world leads to a greater ability to enjoy the world and there's nothing that helps you understand the world better than chemistry.
Physical Science holds the secrets to how life first formed, how cancers are cured, how iPhones have bigger hard drives then 5-year-old laptops, and how life on this planet might just be able to continue thriving, even ours if we play our cards right. Is the science of how three tiny particles: the proton the neutron and the electron came together in trillions of combinations to form …get this… everything. Physical Science is a peculiar science sometimes talked about as a bridge between the ultra-abstract world of particle physics and the more visible sciences like biology, but calling Chemistry and Physics and Physical Science a bridge is like calling Eurasia an Island. Physical Science has it all, mad scientists, world-changing revelations, the practical, the impractical, medicine, bombs, food, beauty, destruction, life-and-death. Answers to questions you never knew you had. I love Physical Science and I hope I can give you a glimpse into why!
