If you're moving,
or in something that's moving...
Or watching something move,
or making something move...
(in unison) That's physics!
Physics is everything we see
and a lot of things we can't see.
Many other sciences from Biology to Chemistry
can actually be considered branches of physics.
It's the basic playbook of the universe.
It's the mechanics of how things move
as well as the study of heat, light, sound,
electricity, magnetism,
all the way down to the structure of atoms.
Physics is the science of how matter and energy interact.
Texting, that needs physics.
(Chelsea) Getting where you want to go, relies on physics.
Gaming. Yes, that's also physics.
Hi. I'm Chelsea.
And I'm Anzar.
We're two of the hosts who will be taking you
through this course.
For the most part, we'll be here
in the studio where we'll do some cool demos
to break things down for you.
(Chelsea) We also have Adrian and Emily,
who will be taking you to all sorts of places around Georgia
to show you how physics plays a role out in the real world.
Speaking of physics in the real world,
joining us now is a special guest, Dianna Cowern,
better known as "Physics Girl"
to her massive YouTube audience.
Physics Girl has helped introduce millions of people
around the world to the wonders of physics.
Hi, Dianna. Thanks for joining us.
Thanks, Anzar and Chelsea.
I am so excited to be joining you.
"Physics in Motion" looks amazing!
On my series, "Physics Girl",
I also share my passion for physics
with my audience and show them how cool
and accessible the world of science can be.
I love that your series takes students outside of the classroom
to show scientific concepts playing a role
in our everyday lives.
The world of physics can be kind of complex,
but I love how your series breaks it down
to show that it can be exciting and fun.
Like, students get to learn about speed and velocity
at the Porsche test track in Atlanta.
And learn about gravity and air resistance
in an indoor skydiving tunnel.
So cool!
I'm definitely looking forward to checking out
the entire series.
It might even spark some new ideas for "Physics Girl".
Well, I just wanted to wish you all the best
as you embark on your journey
through the amazing world of physics.
Thanks, Dianna.
Here's a bit more about what we'll cover
in this instructional series.
How does electricity work?
What is color?
How does sound travel?
What is speed and velocity?
And you will discover the laws of physics
that govern all of these things and more.
We do need to caution you to make sure
you follow your schools guidelines
concerning any type of science experiment
before trying any of these demonstrations yourself.
And always make sure you have a teacher or parent present
before you attempt any experiments.
(Chelsea) There will some math involved
that we will break down for you.
But if you find yourself needing a little extra help,
we've got you covered.
(Anzar) Check out our Closer Look videos
in the Support Materials section.
These videos will walk you through a wide range
of problems step by step.
Just look for this Closer Look symbol
at the bottom of the screen,
and that will let you know when additional help
is available.
You'll also find toolkits for each video
in the Support Materials section.
The toolkits are companion guides
that contain downloadable experiments,
three-dimensional task,
practice problems and note-taking guides.
(Anzar) Teachers, you can request the teacher version
of the toolkit for access to instructional strategies
and solutions to all of the toolkit problems.
So, are you ready to impress your friends,
your teacher, and maybe even yourself?
So settle in, grab a pencil and a paper,
or something to take notes with...
And let's journey through the exciting world of...
"Physics in Motion".
