Class | Registration opens 12/7/2025 9:00 AM EDT
Did you ever wonder why the sky is blue or sunsets are red or why is ice slippery? In “The Physics of Everyday Phenomenon” we will explore these and numerous other things you encounter every day. Rather than focusing on abstract equations and idealized systems, this course emphasizes how physics manifests in the world around us. Using minimal mathematics and a conceptual approach, this course is ideal for anyone curious about the hidden mechanics of the physical world. This course reveals that physics isn't confined to labs or equations -- it's happening all around you, all the time.
