Physics is a fascinating subject that can help us understand the world around us. However, it can also be a challenging subject, especially for students who are struggling to grasp the concepts. As a physics teacher, it is my goal to create an engaging learning environment where all students can thrive.
Here are the activities I do to make my physics lessons more engaging:
Use real-world examples and demonstrations:
Students are more likely to learn and remember concepts if they can see how they apply to the real world. That’s why I often use real-world examples and demonstrations in my lessons. For example, I take events like F1 car racing and cricket for the speed lesson.
Make learning fun and interactive:
Physics doesn’t have to be boring!(My core belief )
I try to make my lessons fun and interactive by using activities. For example, I give the students a tuning fork and water for sound lessons and allow them to explore. They came up with all the keywords used in the lesson.
Provide opportunities for students to work together:
Collaborative learning is a great way for students to learn from each other and develop their problem-solving skills. I often have students work together on assignments like preparing questions that can be asked in physics. They work eagerly to prepare the toughest questions.
One aspect i want to include in the classroom is
Differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all learners. Not all students learn in the same way. For example, I want to provide different types of assessments for students with different learning styles.
