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.
