The contributions of research presented in Physics Education are genuinely necessary for content and quality of physics teacher education and for developing new lessons based on research. Teaching and learning in a subject, physics in this case, can only be successful if it is informed by research in the respective areas of educational activities. Nevertheless, to improve the quality of physics teaching and learning from kindergarten to university, many references to other disciplines are needed. This chapter of Physics Education brings teaching and research of physics education in line with academic physics, psychology and pedagogy to enable student teachers of physics and in-service teachers to understand research findings and provide them with opportunities to transfer theoretical approaches and empirical results to their own practices. Physics Education is about research, teaching physics and learning physics and lesson design on all levels of the respective educational systems. Therefore, the area of research, teaching and developing learning environments covers not only processes of teaching and learning in pre-schools, all kind of schools, universities and state-dependent seminars but also non-school institutions such as museums, science centres or learning laboratories.

An Introduction to Physics Education Research

Physics teachers have long suspected that our beginning students hold many basic concepts about the physical world that are in conflict with the "scientific" worldview that largely originated with Kepler, Galileo, and especially Newton. In the early 1990's work began on developing diagnostic instruments to probe just how prevalent these misconceptions are and exactly what they are. A well-known example is the following question.

Often a plurality or even majority of beginning physics students choose A . This fundamental misconception is deeply held by many students. When doing an actual demonstration, some students claim they actually saw the ball follow path A ! I have placed a meter stick beside path B and repeated the demonstration and had students say "There must be magnets or something in the meter stick that caused the ball to follow path B , because before it followed path A ."

The diagnostic instruments revealed many similar misconceptions. So they confirmed our suspicions.

The next step was to give the same diagnostic instrument to students at the beginning and again at the end of their physics course. The expectation was that we could then observe our grand success in having students replace wrong concepts with correct ones. However, the results of this pre/post test protocol was under whelming: the change in student understanding was minimal. So evidently conventional instruction is not very effective. Students learn to memorize formulae and on tests "plug and chug" to get correct answers, but the deep conceptual learning which we particularly value was not occurring in our classes. This depressing result has now been replicated for tens of thousands of students at a number of institutions around the world.

If conventional instruction is not effective, the diagnostic instruments allow us to conduct research to try to find pedagogy that actually works. After forming a baseline with the pre/post test protocol in a course, the following year make a change in the instruction and use the instruments to determine whether the change actually worked. This method of applying the scientific method to pedagogy is the heart of PER.

Some of the key results of PER are:

• Most students learn best by interacting with their peers. This result was particularly shocking to me. My preferred learning style is give me the textbook or journal article and a quiet corner and leave me alone! I suspect this is also the preferred learning style of many people who end up academics. However, it is not the best learning style for most of our students.
• The peer interactions are most effective when they are based on conceptually based activities. These activities are particularly effective when they force students to confront their misconceptions.
• The activities are particularly effective when they involve real physical apparatus. The apparatus need not be sophisticated or expensive: often materials available at minimal cost from the local hardware store can be effective.

Many skilled educators in a variety of fields have at least intuitively known these results. The difference is that PER allows us to quantitatively prove that these methods actually work.

PER is now a huge field of research. PER groups now exist in many physics departments, Physical Review has a Special Topics Section on PER, and googling "physics education research" returns 63,000 hits.

Applying PER

In this section I briefly describe how the results of PER are being applied in teaching physics.

Often we have up to 1000 students in a classroom. In conventional instruction we deliver a lecture to the students. We stand at the front of the room and deliver the "truth" which the students are expected to passively absorb.

The origins of the lecture is the middle ages, where the professor would come in to the classroom and read the book to the students. A few days later, the professor would again read the book to the students, perhaps adding some commentary. A few days after that he would again read the book to the students; this is the origin of the "third reading" which is still used in our parliaments. This type of pedagogy is perhaps appropriate if the professor is the only one with the book. However, the invention of the printing press in 1440 means that students also have the book. Thus the persistence of the conventional lecture can only be viewed as an anachronism based on habit, tradition, and perhaps just laziness.

Given that students learn best by interacting with their peers, how can this fact be implemented in a classroom with many students? One technique is called Peer Instruction (PI), whose greatest proponent is Eric Mazur at Harvard. Here is how Crouch and Mazur describe the method:

A class taught with PI is divided into a series of short presentations, each focused on a central point and followed by a related conceptual question, called a ConcepTest which probes students’ understanding of the ideas just presented. Students are given one or two minutes to formulate individual answers and report their answers to the instructor. Students then discuss their answers with others sitting around them; the instructor urges students to try to convince each other of the correctness of their own answer by explaining the underlying reasoning. During the discussion, which typically lasts two to four minutes, the instructor moves around the room listening. Finally, the instructor calls an end to the discussion, polls students for their answers again ( which may have changed based on the discussion), explains the answer, and moves on to the next topic.

("Peer Instruction: Ten years of experience and results," Am. J. Phys. 69 (9), 970 - 975, (Sept. 2001), http://web.mit.edu/jbelcher/www/TEALref/Crouch_Mazur.pdf )

Demonstrations

Physics classes often have demonstrations, and students love them. However, research shows that they don't actually learn very much from conventional demonstrations. Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILD) are an educationally effective modification of conventional demonstrations. In this method students make predictions of the outcome of a demonstration and collaborate with fellow students by discussing their predictions in small groups. Students then examine the results of the live demonstration.

At some institutions tutorials are known as recitation sections . A small group of students meets with a graduate student teaching assistant or in some cases the professor. In conventional instruction, these meetings allow for student questions and problem solving. Often they degenerate into mini-lectures by the TA or professor.

In modern PER-based instruction, most of the session is devoted to having students working in teams of 3 - 5 students on conceptually-based activities. The typical model is guided-discovery , in which the TA or professor uses a Socratic method where student questions are typically answered by another question. Devoting a small fraction of time to the conventional tutorial content is common.

In addition to the McDermott tutorial materials listed below in the Resources section, many textbooks now include Student Workbooks which provide activities for these PER-based tutorials.

Laboratories

We can characterize the goals of typical laboratory instruction as:

• Providing experimental illustration of the concepts of the course.
• Illustrating methods of experimental science, often including error analysis.

Typically a mixture of these two goals occurs in some proportion.

Goal 1 has considerable overlap with the PER-based tutorials.

Here I provide listings and links to resources to learn more about PER and how it is being applied. It is not exhaustive, but rather some personal favorites.

Introductions

Randall D. Knight, Five Easy Lessons:Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching (Pearson Addison Wesley, 2002), ISBN-10: 0805387021. ISBN-13: 978-0805387025.

Randy Knight is the author of the very successful textbook Physics for Scientists and Engineers (Pearson Addison Wesley). Here he discusses the theoretical basis for the way this text is constructed. I am not aware of a version available on the web, but your Pearson rep can supply a copy.

Edward F. Redish, Teaching Physics with the Physics Suite (Wiley, 2003), ISBN-10: 0471393789, ISBN-13: 978-0471393788 http://www2.physics.umd.edu/~redish/Book/

Although the title of this book indicates that it is an instructor's guide for a package of materials published by Wiley, it is also a lovely introduction to PER and its application in a variety of educational contexts.

Jonathan Hillel, "Physics Education Research – A Comprehensive Study" (2005) http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/PVB/J...FullReport.pdf

This is a B.Sc thesis written at the University of Toronto. In addition to an overview of PER, it includes some experiments in applying PER.

The Mazur Group, "Peer Instruction", mazur-www.harvard.edu/researc...p?ed=1&rowid=8

This web page provides an overview of Peer Instruction and many links to further discussions.

Douglas Duncan, Clickers in the Classroom (Pearson Addison Wesley, 2005), ISBN : 0-8053-8729-5. The forward and first two chapters are available at: www4.uwm.edu/ltc/srs/faculty/...eClassroom.pdf

Although clickers (aka Classroom Response Systems) can be used in a variety of educational settings, they have been used extensively with both Peer Instruction and "Just In Time Teaching". This small booklet provides an overview of clickers and their possible uses.

Harlow et al., "What’s all the clicking about? A study of Classroom Response System use at the University of Toronto" (2008) http://faraday.physics.utoronto.ca/P...ickers_PVB.pdf

This is a report on a survey of the use of clickers at the University of Toronto. Over 30 U of T instructors were interviewed about their use of clickers in classes with a total enrollment of over 5,000 students.

David l. Sokoloff and Ronald K. Thornton, " Using interactive lecture demonstrations to create an active learning environment", Phys. Teach . 35 (6), 340 - 347, (Sept. 1997). scitation.aip.org/dbt/dbt.jsp...ume=35&Issue=6

This is the paper that brought Interactive Lecture Demonstrations to the attention of many physics instructors.

Tutorial and Laboratories

Lillian C. McDermott, Peter S. Shaffer, Tutorials in Introductory Physics (Prentice Hall, 2002), ISBN 0-13-065364-0.

Lillian McDermott and her group at the University of Washington have raised the use of conceptual activities to put the students into a state of cognitive dissonance into an art form. This is a stand-alone workbook, with an accompanying Instructor's Guide, providing access to many of these materials. There is a small caveat about this workbook: some of the activities are too simple for Canadian students.

Physics Project for Class 12: Topic List (Download Free PDF)

• Updated on  
• Mar 6, 2024

Physics is a fascinating subject that studies the laws of nature and the elements of the universe including light , matter, energy , force , etc. An important branch of science, the subject works on the principle of observation and experimentation. Right from the very beginning, the concepts of Physics are taught but it is only in Senior Secondary Education that a separate book is dedicated to Physics and is taught as a separate subject. CBSE Class 12 Physics chapters cover a broad range of concepts that reinforce a student’s understanding of the subject. But being a practical-oriented subject, it demands practical work and project work at the end of the course. If you are looking for a Physics Project for Class 12 or physics project topics, then below are some of the projects that you can consider.

Electric car, electric motor, how to create a visual doppler, buoyancy 101, heat transfer in an incandescent lamp, insulation value, observations of gas in the infrared spectrum, marvelous magnetics, long and short wavelength colors, use and impact of recycled materials for thermal insulation, hydro power, salt water vs tap water, investigatory project physics project for class 12: cbse suggestions, list of 50 physics project topics for class 12, physics project for class 12 on electromagnetic induction and alternating currents, physics project for class 12 on current electricity, physics project for class 12 on electrostatics, physics project for class 12 on magnetic effects of current and magnetism, physics project for class 12 on optics, physics project for class 12 on oscillations and waves, modern physics project topics for class 12, general topics for physics project for class 12, physics project for class 12 working model example, popular physics projects for class 12.

Since you are not required to make hi-tech projects during in 12th class, simple and easy projects would be less time-consuming and easier to explain. Electric cars and electric motors are two of the most common projects or physics project topics. Below are the details about them:

Making an electric car for your Physics project for class 12th will set you apart from your classmates. It is easy to make and fascinating to see it work which makes it a perfect option for a project. The electric car works on a simple principle where the transmission of force from the motor to a wheel is carried through two gears and the use of rubber bands is made which act as a belt. You will get to explore various concepts of physics like Aerodynamics, Conversion of Energy, and electric circuits besides design while working on the project. 

Materials Required: A Plastic Board for Car Chassis; 4 Wheels; 4 Tyre Rings; Battery Holder; Battery; Motor Mount; Electric Motor; Rubber Bands; Transmission Pulley; Screws; Paper Clips; Straw.

You can also make a Physics class 12 project on Convex Mirror and Lens !

Electric Motor is one of the most common and basic projects that you can think of. Though the concepts involved in the motor are complex making an electric motor is relatively easy. With just a requirement of a coil of wire, a magnet, and a power source, it is a preferred choice for your Physics Project for Class 12 if you have limited time. 

Materials Required: Insulated Wire; Battery; Small Circular Magnet; Electric Tape; Modelling Clay; 2 Metal Sewing Needles; Knife.

Aim: The following experiment is conducted to check what happens to sound waves by creating a visual model of what happens when a vehicle passes by. 

Theory: The explanation for the Doppler effect is that each successive wave crest is produced from a position closer to the observer than the crest of the previous wave, as the source of the waves is heading towards the observer. A visual simulation of what happens to the sound waves is created by this project to make them sound very different as the vehicle approaches than when it exits.

Requirements: Ruler, Scissors, Tape, Toy car, Two pieces of coloured construction paper, Some plain paper, and a marker or a camera. 

Aim: The following experiment is to check and determine whether a rise in water density would cause a boat hull to sink deeper in the water to an observable degree as its temperature is elevated from 5 degrees C to 95 degrees C.

Theory:  This showed that increasing water temperature allows water molecules to move further out, decreasing upthrust in turn, and causing more water to be displaced by a floating mass as its buoyancy is decreased. If the water molecules spread outward due to high temperature, a large rise in water temperature can produce a noticeable difference in the water’s surface or even a small floating point

Requirements: 10 Identical Styrene Model Boats, 128 grams of steel, and a Digital Thermometer

Aim: How much of the electrical power supply of an incandescent lamp is lost by thermionic emission from the filament? If these damages are large, the operational performance of incandescent lamps could be substantially increased by their elimination.

Theory: The power output can be decomposed into thermionic emission and thermal-radiation elements using electricity, filament temperature, and ambient temperature details. The conduction is sequentially dependent upon the temperature of the filament (Fourier’s Law), but the exposure is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature of the filament (Stefan-Boltzmann Law).

Requirements: 25-watt evacuated light bulb, programmable power supply, two high-precision digital meters, and a precise digital thermometer.

Aim: The experiment is to equate straw insulation with traditional forms of insulation, which are fibreglass and rigid foam panels, which are widely used today.

Theory:  The most critical element in building an energy-effective contribution is adequate insulation. Insulation will hold the heat inside during cold days. Isolation will trap the sun outdoors on hot days. Insulation materials are structures that avoid the transmission of heat from a house inside and outside. To insulate walls, floors, and pipes, various materials may be used.

Requirements: Speakers, Insulation, and Digital Thermometer

Aim:  This project aimed to research the effect of gas chemical properties on its ability to process and transmit infrared radiation ts the transmission of infrared light. The primary aim was to mask a transmissive gas heating element.

Theory:  The molecular structure of gas that specifically influences transmissivity in the infrared spectrum is confirmed by the evidence from both forms of the est. The air has high absorption zones, allowing areas of low transmittance that cause some obstructing in the infrared spectrum.

Requirements: PVC pipe, Spectroradiometer, 8-12 micron infrared camera with digital imagery, Blackbody, and gases.

Aim: The purpose of this experiment was to decide how diamagnetism could influence levitation using graphite, paper, plastic, aluminium foil, or no substance.

Theory: Although many man-made objects today use magnetism or even diamagnetism, this study may even interact with the Earth. The world’s fastest train, for instance, is in Japan and runs on magnetism.

Requirements: Levitation Pedestal, Graphite, Adjustment Screw, Paper, Aluminum foil, and Plastic in Place of the Graphite. 

Aim: The aim of the project is that the houses be painted in both solid colours (red, blue, green, and orange) and mixed colours (red/blue and green/orange), this project examined the interior and exterior temperatures of houses and their insulation rates.

Theory: Data revealed that the order of internal temperature readings from peak to lowest matched the wavelengths of colour from longest to shortest fairly closely. Combination colour houses fell between their stable counterparts in general. Exterior temperature data shows that followed by red, red/blue, grey, blue, orange, and control, the green/orange house was the warmest. The highest insulation rate, followed by green, green/orange, red/blue, red, orange, and control, was obtained from the blue home.

Requirements: Oil paints, Control house painted white, and Digital and Infrared Thermometers.

Aim: Fiberglass, pine shavings, polystyrene, polyurethane, cellulose, perlite, polyethene foil, or bubble wrap where the goal of this experiment is to find which recycling process would be an effective electricity insulator.

Theory: This could be an asset in the summer, but even time would be spent on heating the house in the winter. It also took a bit longer than the other materials to cool fibreglass and only averaged around 12 minutes to heat it. As it warmed easily and also trapped heat to save energy, fibreglass was by far the most powerful insulator.

Requirements: Particle Board, Digital thermometer, Light Bulb, and Cardboard boxes. 

Aim: The following project is conducted to learn about the first-hand force of water.

Theory: At the foot of dams, hydropower plants are designed to take advantage of higher water pressure at the edge of a dam. The excess water is funnelled into a tube called a penstock into the dam. The water is then concentrated on a turbine’s blades. The water pressure of the water transforms the engine, and a power generator turns the turbine.

Requirements: Half gallon paper milk carton, Gallon of Water, Awl or 10p nail, Masking Tape, Ruler, Magic Marker, Pair of Scissors and Pad of Paper and Pencil to Make Notes

Aim: This experiment would be about magnets and water. Since water is diamagnetic, I used the magnets to transfer water, which means it appears to move further from magnets and electromagnets. A cookie tray with the magnets equally spread along the inside circumference of it.

Theory: Someone who studies water is a hydrologist . The study of the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids is called magnetohydrodynamics (MHD for short). One of them is salt water. You could levitate a frog if you had a powerful enough magnet. Diamagnetic and paramagnetic are also compounds. In addition, this may be the data that I require. To see whether the water is flowing or not, I would have to use rubber duckies or food colouring

Requirements: Rubber, Magnets, Angel food pie tin, Food colouring Timer, and Tape.
