Class overview
Welcome to your first science class at University High School. I'm Kyle van Loon, the teacher for the course. Physics is the study of the fundamental nature of the universe. Physics is the closest thing we have to truth in the universe. As a result it is the basis for all the other sciences, how math and science fit together, and various scientific practices and cross cutting concepts.

Physics is all about objects and interactions, cause and effect, and the fundamental question: "why?" This study often leads us from simple questions to simple principles that add to each other to paint the tapestry of our reality.

About me
I was born and raised here in Fresno and obtained my BS in Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I have always had an insatiable hunger for understanding how the universe works around us; therefore, physics was the obvious choice in my studies.
Outside of my academic and professional life I am big fan of table top games like Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and Warhammer.
This is my sweet dog Cece :)
