INTRODUCTION 

Physics is one of the sciences that establishes laws, postulates using mathematics to determine in a concrete way how everything around us works, through the relation with different areas involving variables such as time, space, mass, force, energy, etc. It is important to point out that all the phenomena that occur on our planet and outside are governed by approaches that have been studies for centuries.

Physics is a fascinating branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the behavior of the physical world around us. It is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. For you guys as 9th-grade students, the study of physics introduces you to various basic concepts and principles that form the foundation of this scientific discipline.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE 

To form in students an analytical, inquiring and flexible mentality to raise questions, solve problems, elaborate explanations and judge arguments, understanding and valuing science and its implications.

METHODOLOGY

• Master class
