Learn about the properties of motion and Newton's laws. These physics concepts will enable you to understand the basics of the motion of a bicycle or car, to the motion of space ships and planets.
Learn about atomic theories and different states of matter. What differentiates a solid from a liquid from a gas, and what exactly is a plasma? These lectures unlock everything from why things float to how airplanes fly.
Learn about states of matter, heat, and temperature. These physics concepts will enable you to understand phase changes, weather, and why "we can't get something for nothing."
Learn about the fundamentals of waves, including how sound and music work. Sound, water, light, gravity, even traffic all travel in waves.
Learn about electricity and magnetism. Electromagnetism is an important concept that has impacts in our daily lives. How does electricity work? Why do magnets stick to the fridge?
Learn about how matter works on extremely small scales. Quantum physics explains how electrons, photons, and other subatomic particles interact with each other.
Learn about atomic theories, radioactivity, x-rays, fission, and fusion. These topics allow us to understand how atoms work, to understanding medical imaging technology and nuclear power.
