If you're curious about how the universe works, physics is a great place to start. Physics allows us to understand the complex world around us by breaking things down to basic building blocks and simple rules; then, we can use these basics to explain what makes the rest of the world and the cosmos tick. It's an exciting subject going from the subatomic scale to the galactic, and used in fields ranging from medicine to energy.
Information about the topic of physics can be found in the nonfiction section under the Dewey Class number 530. Some subheadings for information found in this area are matter and antimatter; mechanics of solids, fluids, and gases; sound and related vibrations; visible light (optics); heat, electricity and electronics; magnetism; and molecular, atomic, and nuclear sciences. Explore a few of the ways this ancient discipline is taking us into the future. Check out the 530's in the nonfiction section!
This week I am at the Middle School on Tuesday, November 29. On Thursday, December 1, I will be meeting with K-Geelan, 4-Hildman, and 2-Glawe.
Enjoy a good read!
