Students learn to think scientifically, make hypotheses, perform experiments and evaluate results. This enhances problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Through the study of physics, students practice observing natural phenomena and analyzing the data they collect.<\/span><\/p>\n

The teaching units include Forces and Movements where the concepts of force and speed are introduced through vehicle construction activities and experiments with various forces (thrust, friction, etc.). Students are then introduced to Energy and Heat through understanding these concepts, energy conversion using sensors in various constructions, they will be introduced to Electricity and Magnetism through simple circuits and experiments to detect the fields and finally they will be introduced to Sound and Light by investigating their properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

The teaching methods focus on the interdisciplinary approach by linking Physics with Mathematics and Computer Science, Experimental Teaching using laboratory experiments and robotics to help students understand theoretical concepts and Cooperative Learning by working in groups to solve problems and develop collaborative skills. With this approach, students not only learn basic physics concepts, but also develop important skills in programming, engineering, and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the innovations of the program is to increase students’ interest and motivation for learning through activities that are fun and interesting, which motivates students to actively participate in learning. This can lead to a greater commitment and love for physics and science in general. This encourages students to be creative and develop innovative solutions to the problems they face. This fosters creativity and the ability to innovate.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_message message_box_color=”turquoise” icon_type=”entypo” css=”” icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-star”]Objectives of the program<\/b><\/p>\n

By the end of the program, students will be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To encourage the understanding of the basic concepts of physics through experimental activities.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. To strengthen scientific thinking and analytical approach to problems.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. To provide experiential learning through the construction and programming of robotic models.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. To foster teamwork and problem-solving skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
