Scalars and vectors are two kinds of quantities that are used in physics and math. Scalars are quantities that only have magnitude (or size), while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Explore some examples of scalars and vectors, including distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.

An overview of what physics is about as we delve deeper in future videos. How physics is related to math, the other sciences, and the world around us. 

According to Creative Commons there are over 1.6 billion openly licensed teaching and learning resources available on the internet. Open Educational Resources (OER) are quality, free educational resources, that you can use without having to ask for permission, and that can be adapted to better suit local contexts and needs.

Many educators and developers don't know how to efficiently search for and identity useful resources. Some throw up their hands in horror and give up when tasked with finding suitable resources on the Internet. In this tutorial, we are committed to providing you with a search strategy for open content to ensure that you quickly find open resources. Let us begin!

On completion of this unit of study you will be able to:

• Decipher open licenses i.e. identify rights and permissions contained within Creative Commons licences attached to open content.
• Search for open content using common tools and filters such as on Google Advanced Search and the YouTube Creative Commons filter, as well as specialized services such as Creative Commons Search to find open media.

This section introduces you to the realm of physics, and discusses applications of physics in other disciplines of study. It also describes the methods by which science is done, and how scientists communicate their results to each other.

Physics is a branch of science. The word science comes from a Latin word that means having knowledge, and refers the knowledge of how the physical world operates, based on objective evidence determined through observation and experimentation. A key requirement of any scientific explanation of a natural phenomenon is that it must be testable; one must be able to devise and conduct an experimental investigation that either supports or refutes the explanation. It is important to note that some questions fall outside the realm of science precisely because they deal with phenomena that are not scientifically testable. This need for objective evidence helps define the investigative process scientists follow, which will be described later in this chapter.

Volgens Creative Commons zijn er meer dan 1,6 miljard open gelicentieerde onderwijs- en leermaterialen beschikbaar op het internet. Open Educational Resources (OER) zijn gratis onderwijsmaterialen van hoge kwaliteit die je kunt gebruiken zonder toestemming te hoeven vragen, en die kunnen worden aangepast om beter aan te sluiten bij lokale contexten en behoeften. 

Veel leerkrachten en ontwikkelaars weten niet hoe ze efficiënt bruikbare bronnen kunnen zoeken en identificeren. Sommigen gooien vol afschuw hun handen omhoog en geven het op wanneer ze geschikte bronnen op het internet moeten vinden. In deze handleiding willen we je een zoekstrategie geven voor open inhoud, zodat je snel open bronnen kunt vinden. Laten we beginnen!

Na afronding van deze studie-eenheid bent u in staat om

• Open licenties te ontcijferen, d.w.z. de rechten en toestemmingen te identificeren die zijn opgenomen in Creative Commons-licenties die aan open content zijn verbonden.
• Zoeken naar open materiaal met behulp van veelgebruikte tools en filters zoals Google Advanced Search en het Creative Commons-filter van YouTube, maar ook met gespecialiseerde diensten zoals Creative Commons Search om open media te vinden.
