Hello.

Currently, I'm a Sophomore in High School, and I'm about to finish Chemistry 1 Honors Research, and I'm going to start Biology 2 AP in the fall.

In Chemistry, there were a few introductions to physics, mainly thermodynamics, nuclear physics, and quantum physics, with their ties to chemistry.

I was a bit interested in these areas, and physics looks very appealing to me.

I'm planning to take Physics next year, so if anyone has any introduction to physics articles for me to read, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
