SUMMARY

9th grade students in Singapore interested in physics can enhance their knowledge through various extracurricular activities. Engaging with local university professors for lab assistance is a viable option, although securing such opportunities may require advanced knowledge. Self-study in advanced physics and calculus is recommended, alongside learning coding skills to complement their physics education. These activities can significantly enrich a student's understanding and application of physics concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics principles
  • Knowledge of calculus
  • Familiarity with coding fundamentals
  • Ability to communicate effectively with academic professionals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research local universities in Singapore for summer research opportunities in physics
  • Explore online coding courses to develop programming skills relevant to physics
  • Investigate advanced physics topics for self-study, such as quantum mechanics or thermodynamics
  • Connect with physics clubs or organizations in Singapore for networking and additional resources
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for 9th grade students passionate about physics, educators seeking extracurricular resources, and parents looking to support their children's academic interests in science.

Hi, i am currently a 9th grade student going to grade 10. I am extremely interested in physics and would really like to extend my knowledge beyond what I currently know. Throughout the summer I was thinking of doing something physics related, but I am not sure what I could do. I was thinking of maybe emailing a professor at a local university and asking if i could assist in the lab? I'm not really sure. In short, I am looking for some extracurricular activities relating to physics to do over the summer. I live in Singapore, if that helps.

What physics courses have you taken? What math have you taken?
 
i have self studied a lot of more advanced physics, and calculus

That doesn't really answer his question at all frankly and calculus is a large field. Can you be much more specific?
 
It might be pretty difficult to find someone to take you on,
I had a summer scholarship at my uni which just ended a few weeks ago and it required at least 3rd year undergraduate knowledge, and 60% of the time I was reading and learning about new things to progress with work.

You could always continue studying yourself, learn how to code, that's something I wish I did in my free time when I was your age
