Physics

Welcome to the Physics Department

The Physics Department at Dumbarton Academy is dedicated to exploring the fundamental laws of nature and how they shape the world around us. Physics helps us understand everything from the tiniest particles to the vastness of the universe, and our department encourages students to discover the science behind everyday phenomena.

Through engaging lessons and hands-on experiments, students explore key topics such as forces, energy, motion, electricity, magnetism, and the universe. We aim to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the physical world.

In Physics, students learn to apply mathematical principles to real-world situations, develop practical skills through experimentation, and explore the latest technological advancements. Whether investigating the properties of light, understanding the laws of motion, or exploring the mysteries of space, Physics at Dumbarton Academy prepares students for a wide range of careers in science, engineering, technology, and beyond.

At Dumbarton Academy, Physics is not just about equations and experiments—it’s about understanding how the universe works and discovering the forces that shape our everyday lives.
