Physics Reflecting Writting by David Tan

When I First Started Learning Physics
When I first started learning Physics, it was a fun experience for me. I doubt that Physics is all about learning formulas and principles of everything that we haven't studied further when I was in Form 3. Although I peeked at books that owns this interesting subject, I can't really master those formulas from the beginning, but as I advanced further into the subject, I can easily master those hard calculations pretty well, except those that I can't understand. The relative principles and definitions are easy as pie, but I will try to learn those that I failed to grab hold. Overall, I convinced that Physics is not so hard to learn, as long as you grab hold of those formulas and principles and always lend your ears to the teachers that took their time to teach you the art and beauty of this subject.

The Part That I Enjoyed The Most

The part that I enjoyed the most in the subject of Physics is the experiments that I had conducted with my friends during the days of learning in school. One of my dreams is to conducting experiments with those science equipment under the supervision of my teacher. When I first started to handle those equipment, I feared that I'll accidentally broke one of them. With help from my friends, I started to learn to handle the equipment firmly and carefully. From all the experiments that I experienced before, one of the best will be the Ripple Tank experiment to explore the diffraction of waves. Its quite disappointing that the motor broke before me and my friends could explore more of this phenomenon. Anyway, its quite an experience that I'll never forget.

Kotak Soalan Fizik

Kotak Soalan Kumpulan 3
Pelajar boleh meninggalkan nota, soalan, komen, kata pujian, dan pemikiran di dalam kotak komen yang dibina oleh pelajar sendiri. Ini juga merupakan satu strategi terbaik untuk melaksanakan di dalam kelas kerana ia akan menggalakkan pelajar yang bersifat malu dan pendiam untuk bertanya soalan dengan tanpa perasaan malu.

Kotak Soalan Kumpulan Satu
Kotak soalan Kumpulan 4 


Kotak Soalan Kumpulan 6


Kotak Soalan disimpan dan dipamerkan di dalam almari kelas di mana pelajar boleh melontarkan soalan pada bila-bila masa.

Kelas saya boleh menggunakan kotak soalan untuk berkomunikasi dengan saya dengan rasa tidak mahu namanya disiarkan. Saya mahu pelajar saya dapat bertanya soalan, berkongsi idea atau beritahu saya tentang situasi. Mudah-mudahan, ini akan membantu untuk mengurangkan perasaan malu di kalangan pelajar. Mereka boleh menulis segala pemikiran dan diletakkan di dalam kotak pemikiran dan tiada siapa yang akan tahu siapa yang bertanya.

WHAT IS MIND MAPPING?


Mind Mapping is a popular brainstorming tool and learning technique of visually arranging ideas and their interconnections. It can be used to graphically arrange the linkages of some central concept or issue with other concepts or issues into memorable treelike diagrams. 

It allows you to create, capture, organize, and communicate readily understood and highly interactive visual representations of complex ideas, information, and data.

A mind map always starts from some problem or issue which is positioned in the center. Typically it contains words, short phrases and pictures, which are connected to the central issue by lines.

Most people are visually oriented. Using structure, words, color, images, and hyperlinks (and sounds) to bring concepts to life, Mind Mapping links a central concept or issue with related concepts or issues. 

Here's the teacher designed activity:
