The purpose of this summer assignment is to prepare thee for the excitement and rigors of Natural Philosophy by taking a tour of the requirements of the course.

Physics is Bootcamp Two for College and is therefore an intense discipline. One is expected to Master Notes and Practice Problems for about two hours per day. Physics is Phun but it requires a large time commitment.

(There is no "symbols & valences" type of task to memorize for a Formula Club. This is a tour of what physics is and how we shall attack it. Your job is to do the 25 activities below by clicking on the blue hotlinks.)
