  1. Standard Grade Physics Girvan Academy Girvan Academy, Physics Dept.

  2. Why study Physics ? Physics is amazing & beautiful Physics teaches you to think Physics gives you an appreciation of the world around you. Physics is extremely useful when you leave school Physics is FUN !!

  3. More on Why study Physics !! Physics is very useful when you leave school because employers know …... Physics is difficult so you must have studies hard You must be good at understanding complicated ideas You must be good at problem solving Lots of jobs use physics….. Radiographers, astronomers, geologists, pilots, medical researchers weather forecasters, satellite and television engineers, electricians car mechanics, electronic engineers and …………...…many, many more

  4. WOW !! Physicists have discovered , invented and been involved in……….. How to make electricity Video Recorders The light bulb Television sets Computers Aircraft and Radar The motor car Rockets Digital Cameras Fibre-Optic communications CD players DVD players Fibre-Optics in medicine CAT scanners Satellites The search for Extra-terrestial life Infra-Red cameras
