I'll go right to the point.
I'm trying to get someone interested in physics (and relieve physics of adjectives like boring) . All I'm asking for is a clear, fun and kind of insightful way for looking at physics and how it relates to our daily lives and how it helps us understand our surroundings better.
P.S:- I apologize about such a question but i need a way to explain physics that opens your eyes rather closes them during class.
- Note: I am a high school student so please try keeping it simple.
Any and all responses are appreciated.
Thank you :)

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
