December 3, 2018, in MC438 from 9.00-11.00, Prof. Laussy will give a one hour (plus questions) presentation of what Physics is and how it relates to other sciences. Refreshments and snacks offered at 9.00, the lecture starts at 9.30. The main audience is all the Level 3 University of Wolverhampton students with an interest in sciences in general and physics in paticular.

Physics is the most multifaceted discipline of Science. It involves exploring, experimenting and theorising, with all the scientific topics as its playground, from chemistry to engineering passing by astronomy and with something to say about other sister disciplines, such as biology, geology, complex systems (flocks of birds, stock markets, etc.), and just about every topics. A physicist is someone who wants to figure things out. To do so, he/she relies on a broad toolkit, from complex simulations run by computer codes to simple models based on a mathematical idea.

This session will introduce the topics at large and put Physics in perspective of other sciences. It will explain what is the spirit and methods of thinking of a physicist, and how differently other scientists from other disciplines (e.g., a Mathematician, an Engineer) would approach the same problem. At the core of our presentation will be some practical demonstrations, including rotating and falling objects. Everybody with any type of interest in Science, welcome!

Physics Bouts are workshops from one-hour to a full-day passing by all timeslots in between where we discuss Physics, either general considerations (What is Physics?, What is Reality?, What can I do as a Physicist?, etc.) or particular topics/activities (Experiments with the inverse square law, experiments on free fall, experiments with oscillators, etc.)

  1. How does Physics approach other Sciences? (December 2018) for Foundation Year students (all specialties.
  2. How we describe the World around us? (January 2019) for SciExplore (Year 12) students.
  3. Experiments in free falls (4 April 2019) for Oldbury Wells A-level Physics students.
  4. The Art of problem solving (8 May 2019) for Telford College students.
