\nWhy are middle school students\u00a0losing interest<\/a>\u00a0in physics? Why is Australia\u00a0falling behind<\/a>\u00a0in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)?<\/p>\n

We in the\u00a0Einstein-First<\/a>\u00a0project think we have the answer. It is because students\u2019 internet experience of science is in complete conflict with the school curriculum.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0National Science Week<\/a>, I spoke to 650 students aged from 5 to 11. I asked if they had heard of black holes. At least 80% raised their hands.<\/p>\n

Where do we find black holes in the school curriculum? We don\u2019t. You can\u2019t talk about black holes using 19th-century physics because they are all about curved space and warped time.<\/p>\n

Students have made it clear to us they think science at school is about \u201cold stuff\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is why we must modernise the curriculum. We must replace 19th-century concepts with 21st-century concepts, and teach everyone the language of modern physics, starting in primary school.<\/p>\n

Today we launch our book\u00a0Teaching Einsteinian Physics in Schools<\/a>. It is designed to spearhead a revolution in school science starting from year 3.<\/p>\n

Young students grasp Einsteinian concepts<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Einstein\u2019s discoveries in 1905 started a conceptual revolution. The final steps, Einstein\u2019s theory of gravity in 1915 and de Broglie\u2019s 1924 discovery that all matter and radiation have a combination of waviness and bulletiness (normally called\u00a0wave particle duality<\/a>), radically changed physicists\u2019 ideas of space, time, matter and radiation. These discoveries are the foundational concepts for almost all modern technology.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago I asked: \u201cIs it possible to teach Einsteinian concepts in primary school?\u201d Colleagues said: \u201cOf course not. You have to learn Newton\u2019s physics first!\u201d<\/p>\n

I responded bluntly! Newtonian physics is wrong, both conceptually and factually. It says things can travel arbitrarily fast and gravity travels instantaneously, time is the same everywhere, mass and energy are independent of each other, and the universe runs like clockwork.<\/p>\n

Our team ran an initial trial teaching Einsteinian physics in a primary school. Our most astonishing discovery was that children were not astonished: they just took the ideas in their stride. This led to\u00a0eight years of trials<\/a>\u00a0in a variety of primary and high schools.<\/p>\n

We taught the students that light comes as photons that have a combination of waviness and bulletiness, that space is curved by matter and this changes geometry, and that time is different on top of a mountain. None of this particularly surprised them.<\/p>\n

And the children loved it. One year 3 teacher\u00a0said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end they were using vocabulary and clearly understanding concepts that would normally not be introduced until high school. It was really hard to drag them away from their activities. What was surprising was that they so easily accepted concepts that most adults and teachers find very difficult.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Activity-based learning works \u2014 and it\u2019s fun<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The children love the activity-based learning. And they love toys, so we use toys wherever possible.<\/p>\n

We use Nerf gun bullets as toy photons, ping-pong balls as toy electrons and toy molecules made of magnetic tennis balls and ping-pong balls. Sometimes we use toy cars as photons and use objects with increasing mass to increase their bulletiness (i.e. momentum). These toys allow experiments such as the dissociation of toy molecules by toy UV photons to explain why UV light can break our DNA and cause skin cancer, and why radio (and 5G!) photons are safe because they have much less bulletiness.<\/p>\n

Einsteinian physics has enormous explanatory power, whether at the level of quantum interactions or gravity. Einsteinian gravity describes space as an elastic fabric. We use lycra as our two-dimensional toy spacetime. The stretching of space and time is easily measured and almost all gravitational phenomena can be observed by rolling various balls on the lycra, as the video below shows.<\/p>\n

Students at all levels love to play with these spacetime simulators. They study how photon trajectories are deflected when space is curved, how gravity gradient forces tear up comets, how orbits change their orientation in space (called precession), how stars and planets form and how galaxies get their shapes. As a year 7 teacher\u00a0said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c[It] makes it much easier to talk to students about interesting things, like the latest black hole discovery.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lessons that make sense of our world<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The absorption of infrared photons by CO\u2082 molecules drives climate change. Toy molecules held together by magnets allow students to explore the different ways a CO\u2082 molecule vibrates compared with an O\u2082 molecule, and learn how photon absorption causes this.<\/p>\n

We combine our toys with real but relatively low-cost devices, such as solar panels, electric drills, LED lights and laser pointers.<\/p>\n

Laser pointers allow the waviness of light to be explored in a whole range of interference experiments. Solar panels demonstrate bulletiness, photons ejecting electrons, and are ideal for almost all electricity and energy studies at primary and middle school. A solar panel can drive a 12V electric drill, which can be used for lifting, creating frictional heat and using energy that comes from converting photons to a stream of electrons \u2013 the photoelectric effect for which\u00a0Einstein won the Nobel Prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Helping teachers overcome their fears<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The biggest obstacle to introducing Einsteinian physics is the scare factor for teachers. People still claim it\u2019s too difficult for teachers. We have found if we put the activity first, like geometry on woks for example, teachers with no science background easily grasp the concept that the shape of space can be measured doing geometry.<\/p>\n

Teaching Einsteinian Physics in Schools<\/a>\u00a0is based on international experience involving more than 20 authors. It is presented at the level needed for school teachers, including some material for senior high school.<\/p>\n

It is free of scary equations because these, whether Einsteinian or Newtonian, have no place in the school curriculum. Instead we teach lots about how to deal with the huge numbers and tiny numbers we must envisage to deal with the universe, as well as probability and \u201cthe maths of arrows\u201d (vectors) because these powerful concepts are important for everyone.<\/p>\n

Most students will not specialise in physics. The goal of Einstein-First is that all students should finish the compulsory years of science with the basic knowledge and vocabulary of our best understanding of the physical universe.<\/p>\n

After trialling our year 7 program on gravity, a teacher\u00a0reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lessons feature the modelling of concepts with hands-on \u2018concrete\u2019 materials, an instructional approach that provides multisensory learning opportunities allowing all students to be successfully included.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGirls benefit especially from the way the program is presented with group learning and activities. It is not intimidating, and teachers like myself enjoy the program because it makes my teaching feel much more worthwhile.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe notable thing about the Einsteinian physics lessons is that students are fully engaged, disruption is rare, and students with learning difficulties are practically indistinguishable from mainstream students.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
