According to Galileo Galilee, "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only find it within yourself." Indeed, we can really learn through experience. Experience from daily life. Life is full of Physics. From the time you wake up, stand up from bed, take a bath, wear clothes, ride on a car to school, walk on stairs to classroom, write notes, all of these has Physics. So, we experience Physics in our everyday life. We can't do anything without Physics.

There are different branches of Physics. Mechanics, Heat and Thermodynamics, Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Sound. All of these has an application to our lives. For example,   Mechanics talks about ideas like Inertia, forces and motion, energy, friction and many more. In our world, we are full of different forces. Gravity is an example. We can't be stepping on the ground without gravity. Another application to life is the importance of Friction. We can't walk, write or even hold things without friction. One more is Inertia. A tissue paper often pull sharply for it to be teared off, but if we do it slowly, it just unrolls. 

Thermodynamics is the study of the relationships between heat, work, and energy. We can't live without heat but we can't also live in extreme heat. It just means that we need heat for us to survive. So, we encounter it daily. Work and Energy is needed for us to move and other things move. Can you imagine how can we live without it?

Optics is the branch of Physics which involves the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. Optics is part of everyday life. It is one of the five senses. Many people benefit from eyeglasses or contact lenses, and optics are integral to the functioning of many consumer goods including cameras. Rainbows and mirages are examples of optical phenomena. Optical communication provides the backbone for both the Internet and modern telephony.It can also be used in Visual Effects and Photography.

Electricity and Magnetism or Electromagnetism is the branch of science concerned with the forces that occur between electrically charged particles. We can encounter it daily through the use our electricity at home and in school. We can't light a bulb without electricity. We can't watch on a television without electricity. We can't do Facebook and Twitter without opening our computers which is powered by electricity. And I myself can't post this blog without the use of electricity. Another good example of this is the thunder. It has charges.

Lastly, Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing. It is important especially in communicating. We can't talk and communicate to each other without sound, except having a sign language. We can't hear and understand our teacher explaining her lesson without sound. Another is playing an instrument through vibration such as drums. We can really use this daily. 

To summarize this, Physics is just everywhere. We just need to observe our surroundings because it is just there. So, remember GOAL. Get up on your seat, Observe, And Learn within yourselves! ☺☺☺
