" The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mystery of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to cocmprehend only a little of this mystery every day." - Albert Einstein
 * According to the Encyclopedia Britannica**, Einstein's early education that he "showed little scholastic ability." It also says that at the age of 15, "with poor grades in history, geography, and languages, he left school with no diploma." Einstein himself wrote in a school paper of his "lack of imagination and practical ability." In 1895, Einstein failed a simple entrance exam to an engineering school in Zurich. This exam consisted mainly of mathematical problems, and Einstein showed himself to be mathematically inept in this exam. He then entered a lesser school hoping to use it as a stepping stone to the engineering school he could not get into, but after graduating in 1900, he still could not get a position at the engineering school!

 * =**CLASSROOM CONTRACT**=

1. Prepare yourself for a lesson!!! Be initiative: This includes; > Arrive on time in class. > Share your ideas/opinions for your study with Ms. Lee: Do let her know what you have understood or have not understood. > For every science lesson, make sure to bring your texts, ruler, calculator and something to take notes. > Tie your hair when doing a practical in a lab. > 2. Listen to your teacher and your classmates. This means; > __Show your respect to a presenter and follow instructions. Do not interrupt when somebody else is talking. This includes everyone in class.__ > No iPod or phones in class without Ms. LEE's permission. To open your labtop, you also need Ms. LEE's permission. > (You can discretely give your teacher a signal with your hand for toilet sign if needed) > 3. Handle the science equipment with care.

4. Complete all homework set and check the answers provided in a classroom. Revise them for examinations.

5. Every unit, we will produce a cover page containing three most important concepts covered in each topic and new terminology. ( For lower secondary class, they need to include suitable images and brief descriptions of why your chosen concepts were the most important, as well as the concepts. )

6. Organise your Physics notebook and folder. Organise your notes whenever available. || =I hear I forget, I see I remember, I do I understand.=
 * You have 3 minutes to discuss with your partner what, you think, Ms. LEE expects of you. **
 * ===**Ms Lee's Expectation to help your study;**===

1. Cultivating a growth mindset (Reading: Mindset by Carol Dweck. neuroplasticity: fixed mindset or growth mindset; You must work very hard on this)

2. Construct your knowdedge. Knowledge is not received in class but is co-constructed by the process of collaboration between a student and the teacher.

3. Manage your stress. Embrace the struggle; It is not the result of scientific research that ennobles humans and enriches their nature, but the struggle to understand while performing creative and open-minded intellectual work. - Einstein

4. Practical tips.
 * Taking notes (Do your own work.)
 * Visualisation
 * Repeat
 * Testing is better than rehearsing.
 * Don't multitask ( Brain rules by John medina www.brainrules.net ) - Pomodro technique ( set a time limit for each concentration for a task )
 * Assume the best of people. ( No Snark Zone: To help each other understand. This is collaborative work. )
 * Know the Strengths and limitations: Utilise discussion time in class
 * Keep trying to focus on the course. Avoid discussions on what this course is not about.

Remember that it is your responsibility to prepare YOURSELF !!!
Your expectation towards me; You have 5 minutes to write what you expect from Ms. Lee. What do you want me to do in lessons to help your learning?
 * This is your chance to tailor Ms. Lee's lesson the way you want in study of Physics.

= My goal this year: Allocate as much time as I can with you to help your learning. = =If you haven’t time to help youngsters find the right way in life, somebody with more time will help them find the wrong way. - Frank Clark =

3. What would you like to do more/less?
The difference between who you are and who you want to be... is what you do.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. - Stephen R. Covey

A lot of problems in the world would disappear if we talk to each other instead of about each other

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Physics comes from the Greek word for ‘nature’ and when we study Physics we are looking at how nature allows us to understand the behaviour of the Universe. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">This morning, as usual, I ate my toast and marmelade, washed down with a cup of tea, to the sound of the radio: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">0.000000000000000000001% of light energy from an insignificant star 150,000,000 km away, woke me from a slumber. The same energy that made trees grow, that became the coal that powered the power station, that delivered invisible energy to make my toast and boiled the water for my cup of tea. The same invisible energy that powered my artificial i-brain of 1,600,000,000,000 miniature switches, so that I could find out what new had been discovered in the world. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Physics of the unimaginably large to invisibly small….and beyond, to some dimension that is not up, down, left or right. Some higher dimension that might only ever be apparent when a fraction of it leaks into our own world, a bit like seeing only the shadow cast on the wall by the cat walking below my window. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">A friend once told me that he never believed anything that he could not understand. I do not understand gravity, but I have collected enough evidence to look up before I walk under ladder. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Perhaps one day someone will discover what gravity really is. Or perhaps that will just create more questions. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Good luck in your own path of discovery. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #474747; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">From [|English College Prague Physics webpage]
