How Does Physics Unlock the Secrets of Everyday Phenomena?

[BH Wiz]

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 :)

Physics is what makes magic mundane, and reality - magical.
