Physics Activity STI Dagupan
This activity is something to do with the different basic elements of the subject Physics, such as speed, velocity, acceleration, time, mass, length, motion, displacement and other field of discipline that is associated with Physics like the Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Nuclear Physics and more.
Procedure (Read the directions carefully before posting): 1. The students which are grouped into three are allowed to roam the school premises and look for anything that is associated with Physics.
2. The group of students are permitted to list down up to thirty (30) things and with the objective of coming out with the most number of unique answers with respect to the other groups. Each unique answer is worth 3 points and duplicate answer is worth just a point. Indicate what field of discipline or elements associated with your answers. Moreover, each of your answer must be in sentence form.
3. The answers should be posted here as comments and will be checked and rated.
4. Each group must also post here their conclusion about the activity which is equivalent to 10 points.
Goodluck!

CONCLUSION:
This activity proves us that physics plays an important role in everyday life and in the careers of many people. Choosing the right bat, golf club, or skin can be made easier with a bit of physics knowledge. While on the job, architects, engineers, electricians, medical technicians, surveyors, and others use the principles of physics every day. When understood, physics can help us solve difficult physical problems and make is better decisions makers.

Group II: Conclusions
Physics is the most fundamental of sciences and plays a very important to us people also with the other scientist which they use the ideas of physics,the chemist who study the structure of molecules etc. Physics is also the foundation of engineering and technology.
All the things or objects in our everyday life there still a physics involved, even though we do not even try to discover it. Physics gives lots of changes to our life also with the earth.Without physics we are not able to know how do things work. We should be thankful to all the Physicist who share their knowledge to Physics through experiments.

Great Job Guys… I am elated with all of your wonderful answers keep it up… Please see your score in the official Fan Page of this Website whose link appear on the top of this site…
All the best,
Sir Eugene

… and one thing more, your score will be posted on Tuesday, July 6, 2010… The posting of the next Physics activity will be on Thursday, July 8, 2010, which is about gravity and which is good for two persons in one team.
God Bless,
Eugene
