And we're gonna talk about force and acceleration as vector quantities. Simple or elegant mathematics like force is equal to mass times acceleration. All of this complex phenomena that you see around us, whether we're looking at a galaxy or we're looking at ocean waves, or we're looking at even biological systems, we'll see that a shocking amount of them can start to be described using some fairly elegant mathematics that we can build on and continue to build on. And we're going to see that more and more and more as we go into physics. And that fundamental question that you might have said, "Well you know, hey, why am I learning this math?" Well one, 'cause the math is beautiful, but also you will see that it starts to, in almost the most pure way, describe the structure of the universe. So this is biology right over here, which is built on a foundation of physics, which is highly dependent on some of the math that you've been learning your whole life and that you will continue to learn. And so even biology, even what we are, is built on a foundation of chemistry. It boils down to interactions between atoms and even mechanical properties of our bodies. And then even when we think about ourselves, our bodies, even our consciousness, our brains, it really all boils down to chemistry and physics. So chemistry, chemistry is actually laid down on a foundation of physics. When we think about chemistry, when we think about chemistry, which is at the end of the day interactions between atoms, those interactions are really physics-based interactions. But physics is the foundation for all of the other sciences. Now a lot of times, we think physics is only limited to things like cosmological phenomena or getting rockets into space, or how waves move or building structures. And physicists will the the first to admit that they are just beginning to understand the nature of reality, the nature of everything around us. And physics really does try to use that mathematics along with some core ideas to explain the phenomena, all the phenomena, of the universe. So you have math, which is very pure, and then on that foundation of math you have physics. In the field of physics, which you could view maybe right after mathematics as the purest of the sciences. Be part of the contest or watch in awe as the Park transforms into the place where Canada's future engineers assemble to show off their ideas for Wonderland's next awe-inspiring roller coaster! This fun and educational contest put your students' understanding of physics to the test while enjoying this hands-on learning experience that focuses on gravity-driven rides, potential & kinetic energy.- I could imagine that even the earliest human beings, or possibly pre-human beings had asked themselves the questions, "Why am I here? What is the nature of reality? "Why is the universe organized the way that it is?" And these questions are what we attempt to answer in the field of physics. Physics, Science, and Math Day features the WonderCoaster Building Contest. We’ve collaborated with leading teachers and consultants to develop activities and downloadable packets that can be used as a resource guide or modified to meet your current teaching requirements.Įxperiencing the laws of physics firsthand while having a blast can certainly work up an appetite, so add a catered meal to your Physics, Science & Math Day to make it complete. We sure have plenty of those at Canada's Wonderland, so bring your students to participate in our specially designed physics, science, and math educational activities. As a renowned scientist credited with many physics principles we follow today, he would know that an innovative – and totally fun – way to demonstrate the science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force is a modern-day roller coaster. If Sir Isaac Newton were alive today, we’re pretty sure he would sign off on a physics class field trip to Canada's Wonderland. Curriculum Workbooks can be found below the Teacher Documents section.
