SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a high school student's interest in both astrology and physics, highlighting the critical distinction between the two fields. Participants recommend resources for learning physics, specifically mentioning Hyperphysics as a valuable tool for understanding basic physics concepts and equations. The conversation also suggests exploring popular science books to foster a deeper passion for the subject. The student has completed one physics class and algebra, indicating a foundational knowledge to build upon.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of high school mathematics, including algebra.
  • Familiarity with introductory physics concepts.
  • Knowledge of the distinction between astronomy and astrology.
  • Interest in popular science literature.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Hyperphysics for detailed explanations of physics equations.
  • Research popular science books in the physics and mathematics sections.
  • Study introductory astronomy through resources like Wikipedia's astronomy page.
  • Consider taking additional math courses, such as trigonometry or calculus, to strengthen understanding.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for high school students interested in physics and astronomy, educators seeking resources for teaching these subjects, and anyone looking to differentiate between scientific and non-scientific fields.

im a high school student who just recently found out i have an interest in astrology and physics and such, I am looking for a good website or something that can help me learn a lot of what i want to know before i go into college.

i know this dose not belong in here i just didnt know where to put it
 
Physics news on Phys.org


much thanks it will help a lot :)
 


the link can help but i need a link that will help explaine what the equations it shows me means iv never been good at math but i am always willing to learn.

At which stage are you in high school?

The site linked, hyperphysics, covers physics material you'll cover at the end of high school and the beginning of univeristy. To get more advice, you'll need to be a little more specific on what you've covered thusfar: what subjects have you tackled in maths? Trigonometry? Calculus? Algebra?

And physics, have you completed any courses in this so far? What have you looked at?

Rather than trying to understand things like this just now, however, you might want to head to the book shop and pick yourself up some popular science books. There are lots around: head to the physics/maths section of the book shop and pick up popular science books that look interesting - they'll assist in developing your passion!

Also, the point was made earlier but since you didn't respond to it :-p
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology

There's a big difference!

Astronomy is science, astrology is not.
 


im a junior and iv only taken one physics class my freshmen year and algebra. does that help?

iv also just been learning small peices here and there peices them together. make sense?
