how do you make physics less boring?

Question

how do you make physics less boring?

Answer 1

become friends with the people that sit next to you... and doodle

Answer 2

Try ex-lax one day and prune juice the next.

Answer 3

get high

Answer 4

Most people would probably say Biology and Geography. But it mostly depends on your interests and the teachers. For me, AP Chemistry was much more fun and much less boring than AP US History, but others enjoyed APUSH more.

Answer 5

I've always found physics interesting because a tiny equation can describe a huge range of phenomena all over the universe! Something as basic as F=ma has huge consequences. For example, Maxwell's four equations describe every electromagnetic phenomena in the entire universe. They explain everything from how the cathode ray tube in your monitor (assuming its a CRT monitor) right in front of you to the sun's magnetic field. Its fascinating how such a small number of laws can describe such an amazing range of phenomena, or at least I think so.

Answer 6

Sounds like your teacher/professor isn't helping! I didn't care for Physics, but the teacher was great so I really got into it. I still didn't get a great grade though. Find a student buddy or group. That may work.

Answer 7

try to relate what's being taught with real life or personal examples

Answer 8

By changing your view. There's nothing boring about doing physics. It's true that physics class can be boring as a teacher rambles on about something in a monotone voice, but if you think that sitting down and solving a physics problem is boring then you have no soul.

Answer 9

Read some biographies of famous phyicists.

Answer 10

Have you ever heard of Paul G. Hewitt, the author of "Conceptual Physics." He is a physics professor who made a series of videos in the early '90s taping his college course classes of his physics lectures. I'm a junior in high school right now taking physics myself. Paul Hewitt is a really dynamic person, and personally from watching his videos I have learned more physics than from my actual class. They're filled with tons of demonstrations and examples to help you grasp the topic. You can probably order his video set online or ask your teacher if they have them to borrow. These videos make physics understandable, and fun, and if you haven't already seen them then I highly recommend them. They've helped me do well in Physics, and I'm not a strong math/science student. Please get these videos!



He also has a lot of great books that help as well... which would probably be easier to find than the vids (which are awesome!)...

Answer 11

Not much you can do there. Either you are fascinated or you aren't. If you aren't, well, that makes you a second class citizen of the universe who will never understand the place he lives in. Or not!



Try thinking about it this way... would you ever want to live in a town without knowing what's next door? Where the street you live on goes? Where the bus in front of your house takes people? Would you want to live there without knowing anyone?



I don't think so. Physics is the map to your city. There are thousands of streets and then there is the subway map, the bus schedule and who knows what. Lots of information. But even if you do nothing but to study the adjacent blocks and the overall outline of your city, you will have learned a lot!



Good luck!

Answer 12

for 10 points:::



to make physics less boring.. CONVERT THE DATA I.E WHAT YOU READ IN VISUAL GRAPHICS OR ANIMATION. THAT ANIMATION DEVICE IS YOUR HEAD..



BE LIKE AN EINSTEIN.. ENJOY PHYSICS NOT BY LEARNING FORMULAS BUT BY IMAGINING IT PRACTICALLY AND DOING EXPERIMENT AT HOME JUST FOR FUN..



FIND OSCILLATIONS BORING..

GO HOME, TAKE A THREAD OR STRING, TAKE A USB DEVICE(THE WAY I DID IT) AND MEASURE THE TIME AND PLUG IT IN THE FORMULA TO FIND GRAVITY..



WHEN YOU GET THE VALUE OF G=9.79 (LIKE I GOT)



you will find AND ENJOY the fruits of INTELLECTUAL DISCOVERY.
