The ScholarConnect Physics course touches on the basics of kinematics, optics, material science, fluids, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. Many of these phenomena can look like magic when demonstrated. In class, we aim to learn that physics isn't magic, but something repeatable and understandable. Using the language of math, we can predict behaviors, and understand what is happening in any given circumstance. This helps us to get a glimpse at how miraculous God's creations are, and how He works in the universe.

We will spend class time doing demos (both on screen and each student at home), setting up and understanding example problems, and discussing why it all matters. Mrs. Wilkinson will have limited office hours later in the week to answer questions that have come up while solving homework problems.

MENTOR BIOGRAPHY:

When Mrs. Wilkinson was 9 years old, the Voyager spacecraft made its closest approach to the planet Saturn, sending back stunning images and showing us for the first time that Saturn didn't just have 3 rings, but hundreds of smaller rings. She was hooked on science, math, and space exploration from that point on.

After a mission to Germany, Mrs. Wilkinson graduated in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. She worked on spacecraft propulsion systems until her children were born. She and her husband are currently raising their four kids in Utah but have lived all over the United States and even overseas in Amman, Jordan.up to you!
