Kaur, Tejinder; Blair, David; Stannard, Warren; Treagust, David; Venville, Grady; Zadnik, Marjan; Mathews, Warwick; Perks, Dana – Research in Science Education, 2020
The modern Einsteinian conception of space, time, matter and radiation represents a radical paradigm shift compared with the traditional Newtonian physics that underpins most primary and secondary school science. It is increasingly recognised that school education should encompass this modern paradigm to allow a seamless progression of learning…

Pitts, Marina; Venville, Grady; Blair, David; Zadnik, Marjan – Research in Science Education, 2014
Concepts related to Einsteinian physics are usually not taught until students are in university, denying younger children access to this powerful way of understanding space, time and gravity. Considerable research has shown, however, that complex and abstract scientific ideas can be presented in age appropriate ways that result in measurable…
