Passing Physics Onto My Parents!

It is amazing the amount of information we learned in just the first period of school! Who knows how much we'll learn throughout the rest of the year. Teaching my dad about physics was easier than I thought. He was pretty knowledgeable about physics, but I also taught him things that he didn't know! Although he knew about accuracy, precision, qualitative and quantitative data, and the standards of measurement, he stumbled on things having to do with kinematics, such as velocity, acceleration, and the equations. I taught him the different equations (dat, vat, vad, etc.) and he thought it was much easier to learn it that way! The graphing rules that I went over were also very new to him and he recited it for me twice. I think he understood them well! I showed him some of our past worksheets and quizzes and let him try some problems for himself. It feels good to know so much about physics and be able to share it with my dad!
