Physics at Georgianum

Measuring, interpreting and shaping the world together

Why does a touchscreen respond to fingers but not gloves? Why does hot asphalt shimmer like a puddle of water? And why are sunrises on Mars bluish? In physics lessons at Georgianum, we get to the bottom of such questions.

From the outset, the focus is on joint experimentation and scientific work. Everyone can contribute their experiences, raise new questions and bring in phenomena they have observed themselves in nature, medicine and space. Together, we analyse complex relationships and at the same time learn to back them up with physical arguments.

Let's work together to better understand the world and critically question it in order to shape a promising future.
