Why Take Physics Classes?

“Studying physics, mathematics, and chemistry is worshipping God.” - Fethullah Gulen

How could physics possibly be related to the act of worship? Well, God created everything and when you question all things that were created, you realise the beauty in everything that has been created by God.

Think about this: it was a total solar eclipse that made Einstein famous.

Einstein developed the theory that gravitational fields cause distortions in the fabric of space and time. It was only in 1919 due to the total solar eclipse that Einstein was provided with the optimal condition to test his controversial theory of general relativity. Was Einstein’s discovery a stroke of luck or an act of fate, whatever you choose to believe, you can rest assured that we are going to give you all the more reasons why physics is the Holy Grail.

Are you choosing subjects to take on in your further education and training phase? Don’t turn a blind eye to physics just yet. There are many reasons why choosing physics could prove to be beneficial for your future. Perhaps we can get you to reconsider your subject choice and chose a subject like physics that will be one of your most enjoyable subjects. We list all the reasons why we think you should choose physics and take physics extra classes to help you succeed in the subject.

Explore the World through the Physics Lens

“The influence of modern physics goes beyond technology. It extends to the realm of thought and culture where it has led to a deep revision in man’s conception of the universe and his relation to it.” Fritjof Capra

When your bathtub has filled to the brim, the bar of soap sinks to the bottom of the tub. However, a gigantic ship like the titanic floated effortlessly above water. Have you ever stopped to question how it is that big objects can float on water?  Lightning strikes! What is it that causes the lightning? It is when you ask questions like the above-mentioned questions that you explore the theories unraveled within the pages of your physics textbook.

Almost daily, you get confronted with the mysteries of the world. Physics is a unique subject that attempts to explain why things happen in the way that they do. If you like to ask questions and then use evidence to help you answer these questions, perhaps physics is the subject for you. Is that motivation enough to get you interested in taking physics as a subject? If not, read on…

A Brighter Future Starts with Physics

Choosing to do physics from grade 10 onwards indeed opens the possibility of pursuing more qualifications at a university level. Visit a university and you will note that a vast range of career opportunities demand that you complete physics at school. Whether you would like to become an engineer, accountant, mathematician, physical analyst, physics is a good stepping stone to help you to get there.

Don’t limit your career possibilities from high school. If you are passing science at a grade 9 level, you surely are fit to continue doing physical science beyond your grade 9 years.

Get to Grips with Your Problem Solving Skills

A fundamental principle in physics is problem-solving. While there is quite an overwhelming amount of theoretical knowledge contained in your physics textbook, much of the struggle comes from transforming the theory into working solutions.

Bettering your knowledge in physics will better your problem-solving skills too.

While you may think studying a subject like physics will never help you after you finish school, it actually will. The problem-solving skills that you need to tackle daily problems are taught in physics.

Physics May Enhance your Performance in Maths

A student who wanted to do better in maths was told to take the subject physics as it would help her with maths as well. A subject that compliments physics is surely mathematics. Subject content like the analysis of data features in both subject disciplines. It may be true that as you improve your knowledge in one subject, you automatically improve your knowledge in the other. For many university degrees, you are expected to take both mathematics and physics.

Science and Technology are Linked

Technology is fast advancing. Physics seeks to explain how a lot of technological advancements do work. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is a subject being introduced in many schools across South Africa in an attempt to get younger students to see the link between all four subject disciplines. So if you enjoyed your school's STEM programme when you were younger, you will enjoy physics when you are older (just give it a fair chance).

Physics Offer a Challenge

Physics is easy, right? You are already nodding your head in disagreement. The calculations and application required by physics make you question its simplicity. Yes, physics will be challenging but sometimes a challenge is good for you.  

Find a Physical Science Tutor

We are urging you to take up physics in the traditional school setting. We do, however, realise that should you wish to excel in the subject, you must fully understand the subject content. We understand that you haven't met a teacher as yet who has managed to ensure that you retained the physics knowledge gained.

A physics tutor could be the answer you seek.

Your physics tutor will be the person responsible for bringing out the best in you- both academically and holistically. If your foundational understanding of the subject is lacking, it may be impossible to ever grasp the subject content. Therefore we recommend you find a professional tutor who will start teaching you from the basics. We also suggest that you opt for a private physics tutor so that you can work at your own pace.

Fun Physics Lessons Awaits

Are you considering signing up for physics tutorials? All that you need to do is log in to our website and select your subject of interest (physics). For every subject, there are many tutors to choose from. Once you have chosen a tutor who you think will best assist you with physics, you can have a conversation with the Superprof tutor to agree on various matters such as where the lessons will take place and what your availabilities look like. Thereafter, scheduling your first class is an easy step away.

A bonus with Superprof tutors is that you need not pay for all the lessons at once. Again with Superprof, you only need to pay for each specific lesson as you continue studying with our Superprof tutors.

Remember:

“Physics is simple, but subtle.” Paul Ehrenfest
