Kaur, Tejinder; Blair, David; Moschilla, John; Zadnik, Marjan – Physics Education, 2017
The Einstein-First project approaches the teaching of Einsteinian physics through the use of physical models and analogies. This paper presents an approach to the teaching of quantum physics which begins by emphasising the particle-nature of light through the use of toy projectiles to represent photons. This allows key concepts including the…

Choudhary, Rahul K.; Foppoli, Alexander; Kaur, Tejinder; Blair, David G.; Zadnik, Marjan; Meagher, Richard – Physics Education, 2018
The decline in students' interest in science and technology is a major concern in the western world. One approach to reversing this decline is to introduce modern physics concepts much earlier in the school curriculum. We have used the context of the recent discoveries of gravitational waves to test the benefits of one-day interventions, in which…
