Basics of Physics and Chemistry Workshop
We are keen to help students understand a lot of surrounding phenomena. Our goal is to show students that science is more interesting and compelling because of the beauty and truth of its laws. Most middle school students eager to be more involved and to see how the subjects relate to them. Our approach to science helps students to be more active participants not only observers. This project is based on interactions and experimental methods in learning. Discussions, projects, experiments and activities will be provided throughout the program in order to better understanding and learning.
Content Outline :
Physics:
1. Basic Physics Concepts.
2. Waves (Sound and Light).
3. Electricity.
4. Energy.
We will provide different experiments that explain Physics principals.
Experiments:
(Virtual Sound, Bending Light, Refractive Index)

Chemistry:
We will explore Chemistry in an experimental way starting with the preliminary experiment methods and ending with the more advanced methods.
Any theoretical background will be explained before experimenting through one of the following methods:
i. Conventional Session.
ii. Flipped Session.
iii.Discussion Session.
Topics:
1. Separating Mixtures.
2. Solubility and Solutions.
3. Acid Base Reactions.
4. Chemical Kinetics.
5. Electrochemistry.
Optional topics (provided based on the student’s progress):
1. Stoichiometry.
2. Red-Ox Reactions.
3. Photo-chemistry.

- The final project will be a sample research paper where the students will replicate an established scientific principle into a (pseudo-research) , this will allow the students to learn about the basics of scientific thinking and research methods.
