Physics
Scientific method
The scientific method is a technique that is used to construct and test hypothesis. It is aborded in any field of science. It is a way to justiffy why a hypothesis is right or wrong, in other words is an experimental and research tool that is used in the science field. (britannica, n.d.)
The scientific method is crucial for the development for different experimental theories. After a hypothesis is developed and tested with the scientific method, it is tested until it becames consistent and after that it can be proven as right and make it a theory or a law.
This technique consists in 5 differents steps, but it can be followed in a loop depending on the conclusions

Physics and society
Since physics involves the study of matter and its interaction, it is present in every aspect of our lifes such as walking, running, throwing something, eating. It is also used in may fields of science studies such as chemistry or agriculture.
It is also used to develop many of the various technologes that we use in our daily life. For example, discoveries such as magnetism, electricity and conductors made daily object such as televisions, bussiness and other home technologies, possible.

Theories
Is a proven and well-substained explanation of an aspect of nature that can incorporate laws, hypothesis and facts. It is really helpfull in physics and other science fields because it can help us to explain and predict phenomena.
The Big Bang theory is one of the most famous theories in the world, it explains how the universe started 13.8 billions of years ago
The Heliocentric theory, which demonstrates that the Earth travels arround the sun
Models
Scientfic models are often used to explain or predict the behaviour of objects or systems, they are used in a wide variety of scientific fields including physics and also they are not just physical but can also be explanations or redactions that help explain hypothesis or theories.
An example of a model used in physics used in physics is the solar system model, that can be used to explain Newton's law of gravity with the masses and distances to scale.
Laws
Laws describe phenomena and events that the scientific community have proven true, they describe what will happen in a certain situation using a demonstrable mathematical equations.
One example is the Newton's laws of Motion this set of three laws describes the role that competing forces play on an object at motion or at rest.
Another example is the 'The laws of thermodynamic', that mentions that the heat is a form of energy and can be trasfered from one place to another or one body to another.
Units
Is a standard reference of a physical quantity. It is the quantity of a constant magnitude used to measure the magnitudes of other quantities of the same nature.
Some units used in physics are: Meters (m), Seconds (s), Ampers (A), Mole (mole), Kelvin degree (K), kilogram (kg)
