Mr. Sanders says, "I have had a love of science that began in the sixth grade. I believe that God has allowed man to get a glimpse of how this world operates. To me, physics is one of the pure sciences that looks at how things work and attempts to model that behavior using the wonderful world of mathematics. I believe that physics is fun and I try and make my classes as fun as possible."
