LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
WHAT IS PHYSICS?

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Physics is the branch of science that explores the
structure of matter and the interactions between
the fundamental constituents of the observable
universe. It spans everything from the tiniest
particles studied in quantum mechanics to the
vastness of the cosmos through general relativity.
At its core, physics seeks to uncover the universal
laws that govern natural phenomena.

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Why study Physics?
Daily Activity Physics concept
Turning on the lights Electricity and energy
Jogging in the morning Motion
Using eyeglasses Optics/ Mirrors and lenses
Other Physics concepts: Matter, Energy, Forces, Fluid Dynamics,
Motion, Electricity and Magnetism, Light and Optics,
Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Physics Application Impact on Quality of Life
Electricity and
Circuits
Powering appliances like lights, fans, refrigerators,
washing machines
Thermodynamics Efficient cooking using ovens, microwaves, and
induction stoves
Fluid Mechanics Water flow in plumbing and efficient faucets
Sound and Acoustics Noise reduction in homes, clearer audio systems

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Health and Safety
Medical Imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT) Early diagnosis and better treatment
Radiation Therapy Treating cancers safely and effectively
Biomechanics Design of prosthetics and mobility aids
Thermometers and Blood
Pressure
Monitoring vital signs accurately
Optics Vision correction with glasses and contact lenses

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Work Productivity
Electronics and Magnetism
Computers, printers, and phones for
efficient work
Ergonomics Design of comfortable tools and chairs

Leisure and Entertainment
Physics
Application
Impact on Quality of Life
Optics and
Electronics TVs, projectors, and gaming monitors
Acoustics Clear and immersive sound systems

Gravity
Safe design of amusement park rides
Sports Physics Improved equipment and performance training

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Performance Task 1: Search and
print a picture that shows
actions in daily life that show
application of Physics.
Captured moments

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Example:

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Please follow the following format:
Picture
What is happening in
the photo?
What physics
concept(s) are
involved?
How is the concept
applied in the
situation?
The children are
playing in a seesaw
Motion (Rotational
motion, Law of
Interaction, Force,
Energy)
A seesaw rotates about a
fixed point called the fulcrum
(the center pivot). When one
side goes down, the other
goes up.

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Egg Drop Experiment
MATERIALS:
 2 boiled
eggs
 Cardboard
 Scissors or
cutter
 Foam or
styro
 Tape/ glue
 Cellophane/
plastic bag
 thread

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
1. Which material protected the egg the best?
2. What did you observe when the object hit a
harder surface compared to a softer one?
3. How does increasing the time of impact
help in reducing the force felt by the
object?
Answer the following questions:

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
1. In what ways do helmets and airbags use
this same principle to protect people
from serious injury?
2. Why is it important to understand how
force and impact work in real-life
situations?
Application for Egg Drop Experiment

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
Just like the egg drop experiment and its
relation to creating safety principles in
vehicles, other concepts in Physics are
also important as they provide us with
insights on how to create a better, safer,
and more sustainable environment.
Remember:

LESSON 1
GENERAL SCIENCE
*Get ½ crosswise.
*Read the questions carefully
and write your answer on your
paper.
