Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other.
This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity . . . just about anything, honestly. Physics deals with matter on scales ranging from sub-atomic particles (i.e. the particles that make up the atom and the particles that make up those particles) to stars and even entire galaxies.
In a broader sense, physics can be seen as the most fundamental of the natural sciences. Chemistry, for example, can be viewed as a complex application of physics, as it focuses on the interaction of energy and matter in chemical systems. We also know that biology is, at its heart, an application of chemical properties in living things, which means that it is also, ultimately, ruled by the physical laws.
We're small. We're family. We work hard together. We reward excellence.

Mickey Kutzner discovered his passion for teaching in college, while serving as a student missionary in India. Over the course of a year, he taught sixth graders and found he deeply enjoyed the process of instructing and interacting with students. “Physics and astronomy are so fundamental to an understanding of nature that I knew I wanted to teach those subjects,” he conveys.
