Physics. Online. — free course from Sciencely. Smart Moscow, training 1 month, Date: December 3, 2023.

Graduate of Moscow State Pedagogical University with a degree in Fundamental Physics, employee of the Laboratory of Biophysics of the Institute of Biochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Ksyusha studies micelles - special nanoparticles into which antibiotics can be loaded, for example.

Anna is a graduate of the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University and a former employee of the Institute of Nuclear Physics named after. Skobeltsyn. Anya was involved in the analysis of gamma-ray bursts, including the spectral analysis of a magnetar, a neutron star with the strongest magnetic field in the Universe. She also worked at the Space Weather Center, where she worked on the problems of geomagnetic storms.

After completing the first module, you will have the opportunity to enroll in the second [lessons 13−24]

LESSON 1. INTRODUCTION

We tell you what physics is and how it allows you to study phenomena invisible to the eye. We understand the aggregate states of substances, we try to mix the immiscible. Then we measure the size of the oil molecule spilled on the table and make a non-Newtonian liquid.

LESSON 2. THERMAL PHENOMENA.

We are studying a new branch of physics - thermal phenomena. We get acquainted with the concept of temperature, energy, and observe changes in the properties of substances depending on changes in temperature.

LESSON 3. MAGNETISM.

We talk about magnetism, the magnetic field, its features and sources. About the magnetic field of the Earth (what function it has, where it comes from) and other planets.
Experiments will help us see a magnetic field invisible under normal conditions and even capture its picture in space for many years! Well, for dessert - an elementary example of levitation.

LESSON 4. ELECTROMAGNETISM.

We study the connection between two fields: electric and magnetic. We understand their features, we understand the surrounding phenomena associated with the combination of these types of fields: phones and laptops, metal detectors, wires. Making a simple electromagnet; a device sensitive to a magnetic field (similar to a classical compass) to reproduce a modern version of Oersted's experiment.

LESSON 5. LIGHT AND COLOR.

We study the type of electromagnetic waves - light. We will learn about the dual nature of light (wave-particle duality), light sources in nature and the difference between the concepts of “light” and “color”. We understand the features of mixing RGB colors using a self-assembled Newton's disk and make a camera obscura.

LESSON 6. LIGHT: REFLECTION.

We study one of the properties of light: the ability to be reflected from surfaces. We will learn about the phenomenon of total internal reflection (seeing it with our own eyes) and its application in optical fibers, and We also figure out what mirrors exist and where they are used, and also check accuracy using mirrors and laser

LESSON 7. LIGHT: REFRACTION.

We study the properties of light as a wave: the ability to refract (disperse) and polarize. We will find out what causes the refraction of light, where it can be seen: rainbow, “blood” moon, mirages, etc. In the course of experiments, we “tame” the rainbow, “break” a pencil, discover the angle of total internal reflection for water and oil, and look at technology screens in a new way thanks to the phenomenon of polarization.

LESSON 8. SOUND.

Let's get acquainted with the next type of waves (after electromagnetic ones) - sound waves. We understand the nature of sound, the reasons for audible differences. We visualize sound waves and conquer them, using them for applied purposes (playing glasses + a simple telephone).

LESSON 9. PRESSURE.

Let's get acquainted with the concept of pressure in solids, liquids and gases. Let's find out what it depends on and how it can be used in practice (swimming, flying, wind, etc.), as well as why it is dangerous.

LESSON 10. MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

Let's look at what motion is, what it is like (kinematics), what it depends on (dynamics) using examples of the relativity of motion, uniform/uniformly accelerated motion and the forces that generate them. With the help of experiments, we will be convinced of the significant influence of the drag force of the environment on moving objects, we will simulate quicksand “in reverse” and learn how to shoot effective video/photos of moving objects using the principle relativity.

LESSON 11. ROTATIONAL MOTION.

We study circular motion: rotation and rotation, as well as the forces and effects associated with this type of mechanical motion. We construct a model of a Foucault pendulum and understand the possibilities of centrifugal force.

LESSON 12. EQUILIBRIUM. BALANCE.

The final lesson of the cycle. We learn the condition of equilibrium of bodies, learn to find the center of mass and center of gravity of objects of different shapes, the secrets of balancing. At the end there is a short quiz on the material covered and physical “intuition.”
