Preparing for Lower Sixth Physics #1

If you're going to start Lower Sixth Physics in September, it would be good if you watched some of the lectures by the legendary physicist Richard Feynman. He was a Nobel Prize winner and he was also a wonderful science communicator. http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/index.html

Try Minute Physics on Youtube: Physics in 1 minute!     https://www.youtube.com/user/minutephysics

MIT is one of the best universities in the world. Here is their Physics video channel   http://video.mit.edu/channel/physics/ 

I really recommend the Smarter Every Day channel on Youtube. Try this film for a start. It's awesome! http://www.smartereveryday.com/toiletswirl/

I'm trying to understand university Physics using this site. If you're interested in weird stuff like General Relativity, Leonard Susskind is a smart guy http://www.openculture.com/2013/05/leonard_susskind_teaches_you_the_theoretical_minimum.html

I will be posting stuff about Lower Sixth topics on this blog during the summer. If you want to get ahead, check out last summer's stuff from last July and August.

See you in September!
