Preflight

2: Every person is different and a part of what makes each person unique is their talent, passion, and intellect for specific things. There are people who are excellent musicians and their passion for the music and their talent as well as their intellect to play may be their utmost expression of these characteristics. The same goes for art, literature, and the science.
3: We did so many fun and memorable projects! We built trebuchets (ours launched 2 football fields!), made cardboard boats to float in a nearby lake, and we dropped eggs on our teacher's head. The class made the math and principles exciting to learn and we applied them to everyday events.
4: I enjoyed physics so much in high school and needed three more science credits to recieve my middle endorsement for science, therefore, this class seemed perfect. I also teach science in the summer at a camp and I thought I would get some new ideas from the class.
5: Because the speed of light travels so fast (186,000 mi/sec), how do we measure it and with what? We don't have anything else that moves that fast.

2: I am a singer and I use music to express myself. I believe that in order for me to sing my best, I need to exude passion in the delivery of each note and every phrase. As for talent, I realize that music can be taught, but there are musical geniuses out there that have a genuine raw talent that can be surpassed by very few. Musicians also are known to be very intelligent because they need have the ability to think on several different levels at one time.
3: Not much... All I really remember is not being fond of my teacher.
4: So many of my friends in the Education program have taken this class in the past and absolutely loved it!
5: How do big ships float?

2: I think all four of these subjects requires passion and talent if one is planning to excel in them. For instance, an artist strive to have intelligence, passion and talent, just as a musician or scientist or writer may have. Honestly I think there are more than just these four catergories that require high levels of all of those human expressions.
3: I remember I always had a pretty good time learning the material, even when it was pretty difficult. I can remember one project we did where were built this motor thing with cork and wire and a battery. I also remember all of the students holding hands and connecting ourselves to this generator that formed a circuit and when one person let go there was a shock that we all felt.
4: I think it's so great that there are so many classes offered to students wanting to become teachers. I liked physics, but not enough to make a career out of it. I think this class will be extremely helpful and at the same time at a level that I can appreciate and walk away with something I can use in my future classroom.
5: I remember a project where we had to figure out the "point of no return" when it comes to a car stopping at a yellow-turning-red light. I never really understood it. I think that has to do with velocity and momentum. Probably forces too.

2: they all do, most things to do them really well need to involve prequire all those things...
3: I remember alot from physics, i remember learning about rainbows, and learning about acceleration equations the most. I also remember learning alot about friction.
4: I loved my physics class in high school and looked like this class would involve all the fun things that we did. I also heard this class was fun and intresting. I am really looking foward to it!
5: How do magnets work?

2: I chose art because it is a very general term that could include both literature and music as well as many other forms. All forms of art require passion above anything else, but talent and knowledge are also quite useful in many forms of art.
3: I remember the unspoken objective of my physics class, which was to distract and irritate the teacher as much as possible. As for what I remember about the SUBJECT, I mainly remember Newton's laws.
4: I'm a Elementary Ed. major, and I needed a lab. My advisor suggested Physics 123, and it seemed very interesting from what she described.
5: How does weather happen?

2: There are so many different forms of art and many ways to express oneself.
3: I remember my teacher; he always made the class interesting and he went out of his way to help us learn.
4: I want to be an elementary teacher, so this applies to my area of study. In addition, I heard that it is a very fun, hands-on course. Finally, I still needed to fulfill my lab requirement.
5: What is the direction of the force in circular motion?

2: Although all of these activities seem different, they require a certain level of passion, talent, and intelligence. I think that people have strengths and are attracted to certain activities. I you love to do something that human expression will be attached to it.
3: I did not take one.
4: I am not sure what I want to do, I thought the class sounded extremely interesting.
5: How can a space shuttle leave the atmosphere?

2: As a fine arts major (Acting, specifically), I find myself most able to express myself through artistic methods. Art is something that is always right, whereas it's possible to be wrong in science, as teachers have proved to me time and again... I think it's probably possible to express oneself through science, but I don't know how-- that's why I'm desiring to learn more!
3: Torque. And I remember this mostly from the stool experiment where you spun on a frictionless stool and then drew in your arms and legs closer to you and spun faster. Also, gravity's force is 9.8 somethings per something. But I guess I don't really remember that, apparently. (:
4: I heard it was a rockin' class from one of my theatre friends. Plus, I have a science gen ed to fulfill. But mostly because I've heard it's great.
5: I'll think of a better one for the next time, I hope, but for now... Why is the sky blue? Something to do with refraction or something but I don't really know.

2: In my opinion, all of these activities take a tremendous amount of expression of passion, talent, and intelligence. They all take passion because you have to love what you're performing, writing, or experimenting with. Also, talent and intelligence is necessary to be successful in all of these areas.
3: In my physics class from high school, I remember struggling a lot, but actually enjoying spending time working with the problems to find the solutions.
4: I heard from a lot of people that Physics 123 is a really fun and enjoyable class. Also, my advisor suggested taking it because I am an elementary education major.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: Any person in any field can be passionate about their work. Talent and intelligence comes along with a deep intrest in the subject.
3: I remember being very confused because the teacher couldn't answer my questions in a way that I could understand. I remember crying at a test because I didn't know what the test was asking.
4: I want to feel confident in the classroom when students ask me questions, or at least know where I can find the answers. I've taken CI 405 already, so I have some recent experience with physics so this class will help reinforce my ideas.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: I feel like I can always express my most extreme emotions through writing. Also, although I don't really paint, I feel like I can feel these extreme emotions from viewing other's art. Science doesn't really do much for me emotionally, and music is just fun!
3: I didn't take phsyics because I'm horrible at science!
4: My counselor recommended it to me to fulfill my science requirement. She said everybody loves this class!
5: Anything dealing with electricity, or anything with electrons and neutrons.

2: I believe areas such as science and math are very concrete, there is only one answer you can arrive at that would be correct. However, the worlds of Art, Music and Literature are limitless. I do understand that it takes much talent and intelligence to prove some of the theories that we know today and that make much of our research possible, but when I think of passion, I think of expressions such as music or art.
3: I remember the exams being difficult but the hands on experiments being a blast! They were fun and interesting.
4: I've always had in interest in physics and how the world works but I didn't think I would be able to keep up in a college physics class such as physics 101. When I heard there was a class that teaches the basics of physics, I jumped at the oppurtunity to take it.
5: What came first, the chicken or the egg....?

2: I think that art, music, and literature are always open for interpretation. They support the idea of expression and passion while I feel science is based on more factual and concrete things.
3: My teacher making the class very fun and interesting. We learned the fundamentals of physics. Many topics included words like force, gravity, tension, luminousity...and for some odd reason the one thing I remember is that acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is 9.8 m/s^2.
4: I liked it in high school, and I thought it'd be a good class to take to fulfill the gen ed requirement.
5: Basically anything to do with Chemistry; for instance, I could not tell you the difference between a mixture and a compound.

2: I think all of the acitivities require expression of passion, talent and intelligence. Because in order to do you best work in any of the four areas you must have all three of the qualities.
3: I remember having to go in early almost every day to get help because the problem sets were really difficult. Also some of the experiements were confusing and long which was frustrating. The best of high school physics was going to Six Flags for physics day.
4: I decided to take this class because I needed a science with a lab. But more importantly because I heard it was a fun class and you get to keep some of the materials to use when we are teaching which is really cool.
5: How does a fish sleep?

2: I chose these two first because of the intelligence factor and then because I thought about how passionate both great writers and scientists are about what they are writing or researching.
3: I remember a lot of the labs about motion and force, playing with cars on ramps and things like that. I also remember the music unit where we had to make instruments and play a song, as we learned about waves and things like that.
4: I heard from a lot of education friends that it is a great class. I heard it was fun and you learn a lot that helps you as we become teachers. I also needed one more science class so it is just perfect and I am very excited to be in it.
5: I think any question with any big details I would have trouble answering like how how big is the atom or dna or anything like how strong are our muscles?

2: Science because i am a science major and i have all three :)
3: statics...the teacher's hair stood up
4: I thought it would be an interesting class after taking phys 101 and 102 i wanted to try this class out
5: How are x-rays done at hospital relevant to physics?

2: I was in orchestra in 4th grade and then switched over to band in the 5th grade and I quit after my senior year in high school. Over those 8 years of band, I have learned that there are so many different ways to make a sound out of an instrument. The volume, vibrato, style, the list goes on and on. Also, to put together a piece of work, with multiple instruments, is a very complicated task. Balancing, tuning, and blending as one sound can be extremely difficult.
3: I never took a physics class in high school. I had honors bio, honors chem, then genetics.
4: I heard it was pretty easy and it's made generally for elementary education majors, which pertains to me!
5: "Teacher, why is the sky blue?" There are so many opinions for the answer, but I will never know the correct one!

2: I believe science involves the most passion, talent, and intelligence. Art can be done without intelligence. Any uneducated person can spill paint onto a canvas and call it art. Literature, i believe, can be done well without passion. Although passion will make literature better, it is not as important as in science. Music is similar to art in my mind. It can ge done wihtout intelligence. Muscles can be trained to perform the right combination of buttons, chords, etc. to make a melodious sound. Science, however, encompasses all three.
3: That a rocket ship is not a projectile because it continues to propel it self through the air.
4: I enjoy physics and my mother is a second grade teacher and hopefully after this class i can go visit her classroom and show the kids some neat things and get them intersted in science.
5: If forces are equal why does it hurt me more than the other person when we run into each other?

2: Literature, because by writing you can express yourself and your passions. If you have a talent in literature, it makes you sound intelligent because you are more likely to use complicated words and sentences.
3: The force of gravity
4: My interest in physics and a recommendation from a friend.
5: Why is the sky blue? I know the answer, but it is complicated and difficult to explain to a child so young.

2: Some people will show passion, talent, and intelligence in these areas while others won't. But those that are most interested in each of these areas will most likely show these expressions in some way.
3: I remember it being very hands on, more than my other science classes which I think helped me in understanding the concepts a lot more than I did in my other classes.
4: I heard that it was a fun class to take and hadn't heard many good things about any other classes that offered a lab so I thought i'd take this one for that credit!
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: I beleive that in order for an indiviudal to excel in any activity passion, talent, and intelligence must be present. An individual has to give their all if they want to be successful in any task that they wish to excel in.
3: The one thing that I most remeber from physics is when we examined color and how it is viewed from our eyes.
4: I heard that it was a good class to take and that the professor was very fun. I also needed a lab and I beleive that this class will help me in the future when I have my own class of students.
5: Probably...why is the sky blue? or Why are clouds different shapes and sizes?

2: Science and Music are more about accuracy than art and literature, which are mostly concerned with creativity of expression.
3: I didn't have a physics class in high school.
4: It's called Physics Made Easy so I thought it would be "easy" and I needed a Physical Science class.
5: Why are the planets arranged how they are?

2: I feel that literature involves the largest expression of passion talent and intelligence because all of the choices can be encompassed in literature. You can use your talent as a writer to describe the look and feel of both art and music. Science must be recorded, so scientific literature is also an aspect of science.
3: I remember my physics teacher. I did not like the way he structured the class and most of the students had a negative opinion of him as a teacher. Some of the students made a cartoon of the teacher with a combination of his name and godzilla. It was overall a very negative experience.
4: I decided to take Physics 123 in order to fulfill my lab for my required science courses. I also hoped that the title "Physics made easy" would be true!
5: How do you make a rainbow?

2: Depending on a persons preference will depend on the way he or she expresses his or her passion, talent and intelligence. Any person can become passionate about anything and can become talented in the subject they are passionate about because that captures their interest. Additionally, through research and curiosity that person may become intelligent with their subject interest.
3: I took Honors Physics my senior year and I did not like it. My teacher was very intelligent, yet became frustrated with his students when explaining concepts to his students. If I asked him a question, he did not understand why I struggled with it. He made us present our homework in front of the entire class as a group. If he did not agree with something he interrogated the person presenting until they gave the answer he was looking for. Additionally, his exams were impossible. There may have been only 3 questions on the entire thing and each question would have 5 or 6 parts to it and if you got one thing wrong it made most of the problem wrong. I think I would have enjoyed physics if I had a different teacher, obviously.
4: I am interested in becoming endorsed to teach middle school. My advisor informed me that I only needed to take two more Science classes to do so. I chose Physics 123 because of her recommendation. She told me I would be able to take my experiences in the class with me when I teach in the future. I thought this class would help me with incorporating Science into my future classroom.
5: How was earth created, where did it come from?

2: intelligence definitley made me pick science, and the rest of the descriptions also go with science. Literature you need inteligence more so than music and art. It's hard for me to say because they all need to be smart and passionate about their own subjects, that you can't really relate them to eachother.
3: getting really sick on physics day at six flags :(
4: I am en el ed major and i heard it was a really good class for teachers.
5: Why do clouds form the different shapes that they do, and why are they different colors (different shades of white/gray)?

2: I think that each subject can exert incredible amount of expression, passion, talent, and entelligence. People can express their passion through what they love, which can be through any of theses activities.
3: I remember doing very long problems involving force, gravity, and mass.
4: It was recommended to my by my advisor.
5: I'm not sure.

2: "Art" is very vague; I think that literature, music and possibly some things in science fall under the category.
3: It was easy for a few weeks, and then got incredibly confusing. I remember that there are a ton of equations, ... but that is all.
4: I'm considering becoming an elementary school teacher. Also, despite that I never understand anything, I remember that there were a lot of interesting facts in physics and it sounded like this class was then perfect for me (cool facts, without math!).
5: What makes gravity?

2: I think that all four chocies involve talen and intelligence but those 2 seem to have the best expression of passion. It is a way to release emptions. Art is also a good way to express passion but words tend to be stronger.
3: I just remember learning about atoms. Our class had a joke of a teacher and we pretty much got away with anything we wanted, which was fun then but did not prepare us at all.
4: I heard it was a fun lab that could really change the way I thought about science which tends to be that science is difficult to understand.
5: How does salt melt ice when it's frozen? Why do some people use sand on icy roads? Why doesn't salt melt water in a cup!?

2: More than any other activity, these seem to need a balance of mind (intellegence), talent and ability to create with hands or to play an instrument, and passion to actually create meaning behind the art and music.
3: I remember doing problems with velocity and mass.
4: I heard it was an interesting and fun class. I'm looking for a science class that is not overwhelmingly difficult because it is not my favorite subject.
5: Questions about evolution and the origins of man.

2: Both literature and music can express passion, talent, and intelligence. In order to write well, one must be passionate about what they are writing about. Same goes with music. If you are forced to practice an instrument, the passion will not show. As for intelligence, good writing includes a variety of words, as well as decent grammer abilities, and good music involves understanding chords, measures and beats. Through this intelligence, talent shows.
3: Unfortunately, I did not take a physics class.
4: I heard this class was great for Elementary Education majors (which I plan to be), and I heard the professor was great as well. Also, since I didn't take it in high school, I felt I needed to learn it. I can use what I learn with my future students.
5: When you put water and oil together in a cup they do not mix, why?

2: I think that when you are either performing or listening to music you are investing something of yourself. Performing music you will have passion in the fact that you are actually creating something as opposed to either reading or viewing something.
3: I remember my teacher helped to clarify difficult points and ideas through the use of interesting experiments which were fun to watch and take part in.
4: I want to take a Physics class here at Illinois. Also, I learned a lot and had fun in my physics class in high school so I wanted to try another class here at Illinois.
5: I would like to know how a flashlight works.

2: It takes passion to have the dedication to write a great story, it takes talent to be able to express a feeling in words, and it takes intelligence to do it without mistakes.
3: Kinematics
4: I liked physics in high school.
5: Why is the earth round

2: Literature must have all of these components otherwise it will not be interesting. In addition, science involve passion because you would not want to take part in different science topics if you were not interested in it. It also takes talent and intelligence to be sure that everything is done correctly.
3: I remember doing a lot of hands on experiments.
4: I heard from students that took it last spring that it was a great class!
5: Why is the sky blue? I know this was explained to me in high school, but I still don't remember the reasoning!

2: Each activity uses a different part of a person's expression, so I think that they all equally involve some sort of human expression. It think it really is up to the individual and where their interest lies for the activity to become their passion.
3: Not really much of anything, except for the graphs of time, distance, velocity, and acceleration.
4: I heard it was a great class and I wanted to take another class in order to get a middle school endorsement in science.
5: Why do light bulbs "burn out"?

2: Literature because it is very difficult to explain in words what you are feeling and to have someone read it and be able to relate to it is amazing. Not only do you have to understand sentence structure but your story or poem has to make sense and flow well. You can have passion for anything but being able to focus and not get frustrated when it does not come out right is a great gift. Music shows human expression as well and is neccessary to be extremely talented to write and play a moving piece.
3: I remember a few equations but not much especially when it comes to understanding the concept. I could do the math but I never could grasp it.
4: I needed to take a lab and physics 123 seemed fun and educational for an elementary education major, which will help in the future.
5: There are many that I do not remember because I had difficulty with them but those focused on the different types of force involved on an object maybe challenging for me to explain further if they do not understand it the first time.

2: When each of these activities is done well, they all include passion, talent and intelligence. I don't feel that one, more than any of the others requires more of any of those traits.
3: I did not take physics in high school but what I remember most about the physics classes in my high school was when they made trebuchets.
4: I heard from friends that it is a really fun and interesting course. I'm also doing a specialization in science.
5: Where does lightning come from?

2: I picked art because when you create something such as artwork, all of the talent comes from you, and there is no right way to "make" art. However, I think all the other choices encompas different kinds of talent and intelligence.
3: I remember that we had to make a contraption that would protect an egg when dropped from a certain height. We could only use certain materials, and we had about 1 week to finish this project.
4: I took Physics 123 because I heard it was a good, fun class designed especially for Education majors.
5: I feel like I could answer questions about force and mass and acceleration.

2: I feel science requires an incredible amount of knowledge and intelligence to be proficient in the field, and the most passion and talent can be displayed through art, literature, and music. The fine arts demand natural talent and a desire and passion for the activity.
3: I remember that potential energy is energy that is preparing or waiting to be exerted, and kinetic energy is energy that is being exerted.
4: I need another science class, and I'm preparing to be a middle school biology teacher, but there is a great chance that I will be teaching more types of science than just biology. This should remind me of the physics that I learned in high school.
5: I have little confidence in explaining why things happen in regards to physics. If a child asked, "Why does something happen?" I would have a difficult time answering it.

2: Any activity can demonstrate human passion, talent, and intelligence. When a person is passionate about something, they will put in all their effort to do the best job possible.
3: The last time I studied physics in high school was when I tool A-level Phys/Chem my freshman year. I remember some of the basic laws such as Newton's laws and how gravity works.
4: I am studying to be an elementary teacher and I heard this is a great class for elementary education majors. I also heard it is easy and the professor is a good teacher. It seems like it will be a great class!
5: When you ride a rollercoaster upside down, why don't you fall out?

2: I am a firm believer of Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory. Every person is intelligent and talented in one aspect or another; art, literature, music, science. Therefore, talent usually breeds passion which enhances the overall intelligence.
3: I never took physics in high school.
4: I took Physics 123 in order to fulfill another science requirement for elementary education. Physics 123 was developed primarily for education majors; therefore, I felt it was a perfect fit! Also, I heard great reviews about the class!
5: Why is the grass green?

2: I personally think that people who like science are very unique. I always found science to be complicated and it takes a certain type of mindset to tackle science. People in the field of science know what they want and they strive to achieve it. They have a passion to discover new things and they are not afraid to ask questions.
3: I remember that I was the only senior in my high school physics class. It was a very easy class, because my teacher was very lenient.
4: I want to take a physics class to refresh my memory of my high school physics, and my advisor recommended me to take Physics 123.
5: What happens if the earth runs out of air one day?

2: It takes someone with a lot of knowledge of the subject to write a piece of literature and many who write literature are very intelligent. But not everyone who is intelligent can right literature. One must also have a talent at writing as well as a passion for literature.
3: failing the tests
4: I think its always good to know the basics of physics. Physics is all around me and it would be nice to know more about it.
5: Why two thinks of different masses if dropped from the same height reach the ground at the same time.

2: I believe that all of these activities involve the utmost human expression of passion, talent, and intelligence. If studied to the highest degree by those who are dedicated, all fields require all of the characteristics listed above in order to be successful.
3: Since there were only 18 seniors in my school who decided to take honors physics, my teacher was very dedicated to us and our class had a very comfortable atmosphere. I liked how he created silly scenerios for our problems, such as an armadillo strapped to a rocket on rollerblades shooting off a cliff at 80 mph. It made the problems more fun to do, especially because he drew silly drawings as he explained the problem.
4: I have heard a lot of good things about this class from friends who took it last year and the year before.
5: If there were a collision, which would exert more force on the other: A liter bucket of water or a liter bucket full or frozen water?

2: Everyone enjoys music, everyone tries to create it, but some people just fail. As we learn from American Idol, it's impossible for some people to criticize themselves.
3: Basic mechanics, Newton's laws, some astronomy, videos of bridges collapsing.
4: A good friend of mine is a TA and he said it would be a fun and refreshing class. And being a business guy, having a group lab with education majors should be enjoyable.
5: It's a special case, but we had a 2nd grader who got brought over for my eigth grade math class. He basically talked in numbers and wanted to learn about space-time. Im pretty sure the majority of 2nd grade teachers couldn't handle that.

2: off all the four, it is the most difficult for me to wrap my mind around, and it's tedious so it demands a lot of precision and effort
3: i didn't take one
4: i've never taken a physics class and i think i would benefit from expanding my knowledge in this area...and i've heard it's very easy to take in
5: is the sun a planet or a star?

2: I believe that art takes A LOT of talent and passion to make art from a person. Literature involves much knowledge of english, as well as creativity, becuse it is difficult to just sit down and write a book without any education or imagination.
3: I do not remember much, because my teacher did not leave a big impression. I don't believe that she was a very creative teacher, and the course was just boring to me.
4: I needed to take a physical science lab, and many people reccommended the course to me. I also think it is cool that the class is aimed for teachers.
5: Questions like "How things Work" For example, "how electricity flows to create our light in lightbulbs"

2: Art and music both involve these qualities because in order to perform at the highest level, "the utmost human expression of passion, talent, and intelligence" is needed. You have to be passionate about what you do. Both art and music require a lot of talent and creativity.
3: I don't remember much, but I do remember that there are trigonometry equations that are used in physics. I also remember somewhat about force and gravity.
4: I plan on becoming an elementary school teacher so I think this class will help me in the future when I teach science to my students. I'm also really interested in science and I am hoping that this class will be interesting and fun.
5: How does a lightbulb work?

2: I think music requires the utmost human expression because it involves science art and literature. It's an art based on science, you write it in the for of literature.
3: building a bridge out of noodles.
4: I need to take care of a gen. ed. and it seemed interesting
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: Every facet of musicality, whether it pertains to composition or performance, requires an incredible amount of effort and energy. In its most basic sense, composers put their passion and intelligence into their work, and the performers attempt to convey the composer's message to an audience. The performance of a particular musical work is never the same because the players behind the work are constantly making their own valid musical interpretations.
3: I remember the enthusiasm and the energy that the teacher put into the subject material. I remember really enjoying the class because everything I learned seemed to be relevant.
4: Some friends of mine who had taken the course recommended it to me. They felt that they got a lot out of both the lectures and labs.
5: It might seem like a vague quesion, but what makes water what it is? Why is there no taste and why is it clear?

2: They all show all of these qualities but I think that art shows the most human expression just because the talent is visible to others. Everyone can really see how much work is being put into it and value it more.
3: I did not take physics in high school.
4: it was recommended to me and it fufilled one of my general education courses.
5: I would not be able to answer a question related to atoms and the periodic table because i barely remember it.

2: I think they all involve the expression of passion, talent, and intelligence because in order for a person to be great in any of the fields they need to be passionate about their work, have talent, and be intelligent.
3: I remember the fun experiements we did, like the egg drop and an experiement with convex and convave mirrors.
4: I decided to take Physics 123 because I want to become an elementary school teacher and it sounded like a fun class.
5: Why is there not gravity in outer space?

2: To be a writer you have to WANT to be a writer, which is where passion comes into play. You must be talented for anyone to want to read what you write, and you have to know what works and what doesn't work, so being knowledgable about previous works (intelligence) helps with that.
3: I didn't have physics in high school.
4: I had to have another science with a lab, and I don't feel comfortable in most math and science classes. A friend suggested this course to me because he said it was fun and pretty easy while you are still learning. I'm also a hands on learner, so having the labs before lecture is a major reason.
5: What does it mean to have a music room set up accoustically and why does it matter?

2: I think this area fulfills all three requirements. Art and Music seem to gear more towards passion and talent. I feel that Science involves a great deal of talent and intelligence, but may lack slightly in passion.
3: The mathematical formulas more so than the theories and general concepts.
4: I enjoyed Physics in high school but did not love it so much that I wanted to take a tremendously difficult Physics class.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: I think all involve passion, talent, and intelligence.
3: I remember simple machines and doing experiments with them.
4: I'm taking it to fulfill a lab credit for elementary education. I heard it was a great fun class to take.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: A person can have a passion for something whether it is art, literature, music or science. Equally passionate, talented and intelligent people work in all of these fields.
3: I did not take a physics class in high school.
4: I needed to fulfill a science requirement with a lab. My advisor recommended Physics 123 and I have heard good things about this course from my friends.
5: Why can't I (the elementary school student) look straight at the sun?

2: I think that all of these activities require people's expression of passion, talent, and intelligence in order for them to truely benefit from them.
3: I never took a physics class in high school.
4: I am taking Physics 123 for my physical science lab credit. I think this class will be very beneficial to me because I hope to incorporate some of the unique labs and experiments into my classroom when I am a teacher. I think that science is more fun for kids when they feel a connection to the material because they are intrigued or fascinated by it.
5: How does an ice cube float in water if it is a solid and the water is a liquid?

2: This is a bad question, each field requires its own set of skills and enthusiasm is a requirement for almost all great achievements. In my opinion, science requires the greatest deal of intelligence in the respect that one must understand all the previously acquired knowledge of an area and still see something noone else has to make a breakthrough, and music requires the most innate talent.
3: rube-goldberg experiments
4: looked like fun
5: when is the sun going to die?

2: I think that any one of those choices will involve the upmost human expression of passion, talent, and intelligence depending on what interests you. Some people love music and focus all of their effort into it, whereas other people truly love literature and devote all of their time to writing a novel. I think that it depends on the type of person you are, and what interests you.
3: I did not take a physics class in high school.
4: I have never taken a physics class before, and wanted to take one to see if physics was something that interested me. I chose to take Physics 123, specifically, because I knew that it was an introductory course designed for students who wanted to teach an elementary science class. Hopefully, I will be teaching science to an elementary class, so I thought this class would be perfect for me. I also heard that Physics 123 was a fun course.
5: How much does an atom weigh?

2: Science does not only require knowledge, but also creativity. I think to be a scientist you have to be passionate and truly want to learn more about the world around you.
3: I remember doing a lot of labs that really helped me learn the material. I really liked my physics class because it was hands on.
4: I could use a refresher of physics concepts before I take tests to try to get into graduate school. I thought this would be a fun course. Also, I have always been interested in teaching so this would give me an idea of what that would be like.
5: Why do things float?

2: I believe all activities involve passion, talent, and intelligence. You need to have all three in order effectively carry out those activities, and have the drive to do that.
3: I remember doing some activities- building the bridge, something with tongs, ect. I also remember my teacher, however I do not think we did as much learning as I think we should have- when we had fun it was not educational or pertaining to Physics.
4: I want to learn more about it - and how to make it fun for elementary kids, since I want to teach them. I also heard that this class was a lot of fun and that you learn a lot from it.
5: if you shoot a gun straight and at the same time drop an identical bullet to the ground at the same height, which one hits the ground first?

2: I think for you to be involved in anything, you need to have the desire to do so. You would need to have knowledge about the topic and bring something to the topic that makes you happy.
3: velocity formulas
4: I have had friends who took it, and they said they really enjoyed it! I thought it'd be fun to regain my knowledge about physics again in an active and exciting way.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2:
3: I hated it.
4: Rupal V Nayak told me to.
5: Why can't we see God?

2: I believe that art, lit, and music all allow for human expression of passion, and showcase one's talent and intelligence. I don't see how science allows for expression of passion.
3: I didn't take a physics class in high school.
4: It was reccomended to my by my counselor
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: I think that in all subjects it takes passion, talent and intelligence. In order to succeed in any of these you must love what you are doing. If you hate it and have a bad attitude it will be very hard to succeed. Also you must have some talent to a certain degree otherwise you would struggle so much and lose the passion for it. Finally you defintely have to be somewhat intelligent as well because all these subjects require some brain power.
3: I remember building a boat made of only cardboard and duck tape and we had to be able to fit two grown people in and paddle our way across our school's swimming pool. The boat races we by far the most fun part of my physics class!
4: I heard that it was a very interesting class and very fun as well, so I figured that if I need to take a lab I might as well take something like this!
5: How come the sidewalk cracks the way it does?

2: I think that all can express passion, intelligence, and talent if it is something that the person really cares about and loves doing. However, I feel that people who really love to make artwork express the most passion in their work because it is visible and painting, etc. can show what people were thinging about at that time.
3: I never took a physics class in high school.
4: I am an elementary education major, and it was reccomended to me.
5: I would not be able to answer any questions about chemicals, etc. because I have never been good at science, especially that.

2: I believe that music, literature and science all involve the utmost human expression of passion, talent and intelligence; however art does not combine all of these qualities. In art, I believe that art takes passion and talent, but does not involve intelligence. Art is more of a self-expression. An activity that any human can take part in and call it their own piece of art. In music, humans can be passionate about their work, talented to play the music, and intelligent enough to read and present the music. In literature, a writer is passionate to write, intelligent and talented enough to articulate. In science, a human must have passion of science, talented and intelligent to discover new findings and create scientific observations.
3: I did not have a physics class in high school.
4: I took Physics 123 because I felt like I could take a lot out of the class, and learn a lot of information that I could pass down to my students. I really enjoy learning and science; however, have just never really been good at it. I think that it will be really interesting to learn how real life things work in relation to physics. Also, I heard that this class was a lot of fun!!
5: Why are my eyes brown, and your eyes are blue? I really dont know much of biology and genetics and def would not be confident in answering this question.

2: Art and music because it will show in a person's performance if they do not have the passion and talent for it. Literature and science because like art and music, to do something well, you need to have a great amount of passion, talent and intelligence to be successful in that field.
3: I remember doing a lot of labs, most of which after completion proved our hypotheses wrong. I also remember it was a lot of fun and I really loved the classes.
4: It was the only one in the particular GenEd I needed that I actually thought that I would like.
5: I won't have students in the future, but if I did, one question would be "Who thought up science?"

2: Art and music both allow one to express emotion by means other than just words, yet have the ability to be greatly understood and interpreted. Literature, on the other hand, is an intricate combination of words that allows the writer to convey a certain message to a reader and also allows the reader to form his or her own opinions concerning the work and, most times, life.
3: I remember my teacher the most, because he is known as a physics god-- a tiny cute old man who turned down a job working for NASA in order to devote his time and passion to teaching sometimes ungrateful high school kids. From actual physics.... umm.... not too much. I really enjoyed shooting rockets out on our football field and making different kinds of waves with jump ropes.
4: I have heard the class is amazingly fun and helps those of us who tend to be a bit scientifically challenged to conjure the best of our science abilities. I also really enjoyed that it is geared towards prospective teachers.
5: How do planes stay up in the air?

2: Music involves focusing on many different things at once. This difficult task requires passion to push past the hard parts, some talent to hold one's interest to their instrument(s), and intelligence to read music and play.
3: I had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the class because my teacher made it interesting and exciting.
4: I have heard a lot of great things from classmates that have taken this class in the past.
5: Anything about astronomy!

2: I think they all take passion, talent, and intelligence because to be good at these things you must be very dedicate and passionate. It is important to show these characteristics in order to be sucessful.
3: I don't remember too much from high school physics, but of all the topics I rember circuits the most.
4: I took this Physics course because I need to have a lab science and because I heard that was a fun and useful course for education majors.
5: Why does it sometimes rain even if it is colder than 32 degrees farenheit?

2: I can't just pick one choice because I think that all of them require a great deal of passion, talent, and intelligence on the subject.
3: I remember all of the fun demonstrations that my teacher would do...I also remember that it was a LOT of work!
4: My counselor suggested the course, and I thought it would be a good experience and good knowledge to have since I want to major in elementary education.
5: Why do owls sleep during the day?(besides just saying because they're nocturnal)

2: Even though there is room for expression in the other three, I think that starting with a completely blank canvas (or whatever medium is used, I guess) and turning it into something original takes the most amount of creativity and vision.
3: I did not take a physics class in high school.
4: I needed a science lab and I have heard this one is fun and interesting.
5: I would have no confidence answering just about any questions about small particles or atoms.

2: All of the different activities allow different people to express themselves in different ways. For one person, the umost human expression may come in the form of art and for someone else it may be science.
3: I remember doing a lot of hands-on activities and demonstrations that helped our learning, but I do not remember a significant amount of information.
4: I plan to be a kindergarten or first grade teacher and I have heard that physics 123 prepares you by teaching various science experiment that can be used in your own classroom.
5: why is pluto no longer considered a planet?

2: I think all these activites involve a ton of expression of passion, talent, and intelligence. I don't think you can say that one involves more than the other.
3: I don't remember much of anything to be honest! Random words will sounds familiar and when looking at problems they look familiar, too, but I don't remember how to solve or what the answers are.
4: It was highly recommended by my advisors in education.
5: Why is the sky blue? I think every kid asks that question at some point in their life!

2: Musicians really have to have a lot of passion for what they do. It takes a lot of time and they have to be dedicated. Musicians also have to be gifted and talented and of course intelligent. It is believed that musicians are also intelligent because of the music they play.
3: Physics day at Great America
4: I heard it was a good and interesting class and everyone I talked to highly enjoyed it.
5: Why doesn't water smell? (most of the time)

2: I feel of all these, science does not fit in as well because very rarely does science create something new. Every work of music, art and literature is unique and different in its own way, but also created by someone's thoughts and movements. Science, when it comes to creating something new, requires multiple tests and perfections before anything is properly "created".
3: I remember my teacher having the class stand in a circle and hold hands. He would then turn on something to create an electric current and touch it. Immediately everyones faced twitched a bit because it was flowing through the whole class. I also remember learning that the person not holding another person's hand (the last in line) had it the worst because he had nowhere to send the current.
4: I enjoyed physics is high school, but now do not remember enough math and such to do any real college-level physics course. I needed an elective and it sounded interesting.
5: I am not an education student, but a question I don't think I could answer would be why the power sometimes goes out in residential areas.

2: I would say science over all the others because even thought art and much require passion and talent, they do not necessary require much intelligence.
3: I did not take a physics class in high school.
4: I am an Elementary Education major and I heard this was the best class and most related to the type of physics I will be dealing with in the future.
5: what makes up an atom?

2: in order to master a subject, a person must possess passion, talent, and intelligence for that subject. i think that all of these areas require the same amount of these.
3: i remember trying really hard to understand physics and never having it click for me. my teacher tried to help me all the time, but it just never made sense to me.
4: regardless of my inability to understand physics, i maintain an interest in the subject and i wish to learn more about it. i took this class because i think it will explain physics in a way that i will enjoy and be able to apply it to my life.
5: how does gravity work?

2: My answer is personal. I feel like I express myself the best through music. Music is relatable and helps me feel better. It also inspires me.
3: I remember making rockets.
4: I heard that many students enjoyed the class.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: All of these activities involve intelligence and talent. However, not everyone shares a passion for the same subject, therefore sometimes people develop more intrest for one particular subject and thus become more knowledgeable of that particular subject. However, this does not mean that one subject is more important than the other.
3: I don't remember much, but I do remember using vectors.
4: I feel that if in high school I would have had more explanation as to why things happen instead of participating in a lab for a 50 min. period everyday, I might have learned more about how things work and therefore developed more skills concerning physics
5: Why are some plants green and why are flowers different colors?

2: I've been dancing since I was four, and I believe very strongly that movement is the best way to express your passion. In my case, my passion is dance, and through dance I'm able to express both talent and a love for doing it. I think that dance is a form of art, and of course music plays an important role in dance as well.
3: In high school, I took Honors Physics as well as AP Physics. I remember quite a bit, but I think that the things I most remember would be drawing force diagrams to solve for an object's net force, acceleration, and mass. We got into some pretty complicated problems, but I always loved getting the right answer because you know that all the hard work paid off.
4: I'm and elementary education major, and I thought this course would be perfect for me since I love physics. Not only does this course fufill my need for some physics, but it allows me to expand my teaching abilities as well.
5: Pretty much anything having to do with chemistry because chemistry is definitely not my strong point. So I think that if a student were to ask me, for example, how a substance can become something else through chemical reactions that I would have a hard time answering them.

2: Everyone has there thing in which they are good at, but not everyone has the passion for these given qualities, so everyone as individuals have their power to involve themselves into something that deepl cares for. All of these subject areas have thier own identity and the experts in the field really engulf themselves in thier beauty.
3: newton's laws.. we got to play with fun toys.
4: highly recommedned.. and heard great things.
5: why can i do things in water that i can not do on land? (lifting heavy objects, and flips)

2: I feel that all of the activities involve the utmost human expression of passion, talent, and intelligence because in order to excell in these activities one needs passion, talent and intelligence.
3: I remember physics being really interesting.
4: Some of my friends have taken the class and they loved it.
5: "Why is the sky blue?"

2: I can not pick one of these four and say that it involves more passion, etc. Each of these categories requires great passion and involvement from the individual involved in the activity.
3: I remember doing an experiment that invoved calculating the trajectory of a ball. My partner and I had to calculate where the ball would land after it was launched into the air. We put a piece of scotch tape on the floor where we believed the ball would land. The team that was the closest to their mark got an extra point.
4: I am going to attempt a transfer into the college of education. If I am accepted, I will need one more class with a lab. I have always had an interest in physics and enjoyed the class I took in high school. So, this is not simply a class I am taking for a gen. ed. requirement. I am truly interested in physics and hope to pass on what I learn in this class to the children I will hopefully teach one day.
5: What happens to stuff when it comes to earth from outter space?

2: I think that doing anything without passion, talent, or intelligence leaves the product lacking so many things. I do not feel as if one subject is better than the other. Therefore, if an activity were to be fully accomplished, the person involved must feel connected to the subject so that others can see the passion, talent and intelligence shine through.
3: My high school physics teacher was amazing. He loved the subject and we knew it in the way he taught it to us. The thing I remember most was being chosen to sit on a turning platform while holding weights. He spun me and instructed me to pull in or extend my arms to show the increase or decrease of speed with the motion.
4: I've heard so many positive things about the class; it sounded really fun.
5: Why don't other planets have gravity?

2: Literature forces you to verbalize human expressions that you may not believe have words. This takes the most percision and intelligence to properly express yourself through words.
3: I wasn't a huge fan of my teacher but the material was interesting. I loved doing experiments and getting hands-on experience.
4: I'm goign to be a high school math teacher and I'm looking for some far off way to incorporate physics experiments (even if they are somewhat elementary) into my classroom in an interesting ways. Possibly making math experiments that stem from activities in class. Also I'd like to get more insight into the subject of physics.
5: N/a - I won't have elementary students.

2: I think that Art involves the most human expression of passion and talent. In my opinion, a lot of emotions and thoughts can be portrayed in Art. Art can be a way of expressing different ideas and emotions of certain subjects that cannot be explained verbally. I also think that Art involves a lot of talent. Some people are naturally good at drawing, painting, or pottery, while it can be very challenging for others. Science on the other hand takes both talent and intelligence. Like Art, some people find it easy to understand science concepts, while others struggle grasping the ideas. I think Science takes intelligence as well to be able to logically understand and analyze different ideas.
3: Although I do not remember a lot of the material I learned from my junior year physics class, I do remember a lot about my teacher and his different teaching techniques to help us understand the lesson. He had six children all under the age of five, so he was somewhat unorganized and stressed. Although his home life seemed somewhat crazy, he always did everything he could to make sure we understood the material. I specifically remember a treasure hunt we did all around the school. I think it had something to do with distance and displacement. It was fun and it helped me understand the lesson at the time.
4: I decided to take Physics 123 because I really enjoy science and I'm interested in learning how things work. I knew that the class was specifically designed for education majors so the class seemed perfect for me. I am also a hands on learner so I think I will benefit a lot from the labs.
5: I don't think I could answer a question regarding how everything came to be because some schools teach creationism and some schools teach evolution. It would also be hard to explain the topic because of my own religious views.

2: I believe that literature requires more intelligence than art and music. Also, I do not consider science a passionate activity. I think literature requires all three of those things.
3: I did not take a physics class in high school.
4: I thought it sounded like a fun, interesting class that could help me in the future.
5: Why is the sky blue?

2: I believe science involes the utmost human expression of passion, talent, and intelligence because it forms the basis of art, literature, music, and so many other forms of human expression. Without science, many of the simple tasks we take for granted would not be possible. To me, science demonstrates one's passion to find an explanation for some phenomenon. It is a demonstration of talent, intelligence, and inquirty in its most natural state. Science forms the basis of the most primitive of phenomenon, yet there is still so much left to discover.
3: I mostly remember doing equations involving mass, velocity, acceleration, etc. I remember struggling through physics class because I could not explain WHY things occurred. My teacher did not explain concepts well, and had little sympathy for those who did show a natural understanding for the subject (which was me).
4: I wanted to take physics 123 because, at the moment, I do not feel comfortable or confident enough to teach science. I am hoping that after this class, I will have more confidence in my ability to explain why things occur, as well as create simple and interesting activities for students to complete. I do not want to panic if I do not immediately know the answer to a student's question. I am hoping that Physics 123 will teach me how to investigate a question through inquiry and experimentation.
5: What is density?
