In our nature, everything happens for a reason. This reason could always explain by science. Physics is a branch of science that helps to understand such phenomena. In this fascinating course, we will do several experiments that prove simple, natural incidents in the surrounding. After every experiment, the concept and reason for the result of the experiment will be discussed Also, important phenomena in a real environment will be taught to the student. It will allow your inner scientist to come out and explore nature in everyday life. 

The following are the experiments in this course. The items necessary for each activity will be listed in the Learner Supply list.

Hello! I am Krishni Perera having more than three-year experience in Online Education. I have worked with several Online Educational platforms in Sri Lanka and Singapore. In the meantime, I am working as a Visiting Lecturer in Physics and Astronomy for several Universities and Private Institutes. 

I enjoy taking a student where they are and helping them grow to their fullest potential. Not only do I want them to succeed, but I also want them to believe in themselves. I believe that Science must learn naturally without forcing a student. Because Science is a subject that is always in our surrounding and nothing to be fear about it. If you allow your child to go through science from the very beginning of life nobody can stop them from being a well-known Scientist.
