Have you ever wondered how everything in the universe works and how everything is interrelated? In this 15-week course, we will "Explore the Scales of the Universe: From Subatomic to Space!" We will cover a wide range of subjects including physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, math, and astronomy. 

This course is perfect for learners who want to understand the fundamentals of everything in our physical universe including subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, biology scales, how computers work, light, sound, fractals, comets, meteors, asteroids, planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the cosmos! Students will learn how the metric system works, what we can learn at different scales, how small and large things can get, and how all of the scales are interrelated. We will also cover scientific notation such that learners understand its purpose and develop a functional understanding that will aid them in their futures. 

The course consists of presentations, video demonstrations, interactive online applets, and in-class discussions to foster curiosity. Each week, we will focus on a particular scale or concept and we will build our understanding from the ground up. I encourage learners to ask questions and I will do my best to answer as many as time allows.

Metas de aprendizaje

Students will learn how to understand the metric system and scientific notation. They will also learn about physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, math, and astronomy with a focus on how the scales of the universe interrelate.

Lección 1:
The Metric System and Scientific Notation
 We will learn how the metric system works, what orders of magnitude are, and how scientific notation works. We will use an interesting interactive online applet to gain an intuitive understanding of these concepts. The material learned in this week will be used in all future weeks.

Lección 2:
Subatomic Particles
 We will learn about the standard model of particle physics, where we will discuss the subatomic particles including quarks, leptons, and bosons, and their associated properties. We will also talk about the differences between matter and antimatter.

Lección 3:
Atoms
 We will learn about the periodic table of elements and gain a fundamental understanding of the differences between these elements. We will also discuss what subatomic particles make up atoms and how nuclear fusion and fission work.
