Physics is the study of how matter and energy interact. The subject seeks to explain phenomena using experimental data and observations which provide a basis for mathematical models or theories to attempt to understand the behavior of the physical world. Its scope ranges from the tiniest subatomic particles to the enormity of the galaxies that make up the cosmos. Think about an apple falling from a tree, the appearance of a rainbow, or the motion of electrons through a wire. These are all things that can be measured and understood. Besides acquiring a greater understanding of principles and accumulating a body of knowledge, the physics course will also develop transferable skills such as problem analysis, logical thinking, practical skills, mathematical skills and collaboration.
