Welcome to Physics

Welcome to your first science class at University High School.  I'm Dr. Gettman, the teacher for the class.  You will be learning the concepts in my class that are the basis for all the other sciences, how math and science fit together, and various scientific practices and cross cutting concepts.  My doctorate is in physics with a bachelors degree in math,  so I definitely believe science and math are important, especially now.

Physics is all about how objects interact, the changes interactions cause, and how much change can one object do to another one.  Simple ideas, but science is also about the application of those ideas to the physical world.
