1st Semester Astronomy Projects
End of Year Physics Project
Public Outreach Project:
Option 1: Choose an area of physics we have studied. Educate us on an application of the physics. For example, we’ve studied light and its properties. You might research how light is used to find and study objects in space, or research a space telescope -how it works and types of research it’s used for.
Option 2: Choose an area of physics we haven’t studied yet and give us an introduction to it – major concepts only, not formulas! Possible topics to choose from include-
• Nuclear physics
• Particle physics – the standard model
• Quantum mechanics
• Relativity
• String theory
• Fluid dynamics
• Aeronautics
• Cosmology
• Chaos theory
• Geophysics
• Any other topic, with approval
