Thoughts about Physics and teaching Physics
Space is my favourite topic in Physics. Not only because all pupils will, in their lives, have looked up at the night's sky and started to wonder, but because Space ties several topics of Physics together into one beautiful, unified whole.
Physics is about questioning the Universe around us. A universal way to scaffold is to ask "why" and "so what." Such simple questions can take a pupil from their entry point in a description to a detailed account of the underlying Physics. A great tool!
