MonashPhysicsAndAstronomy via YouTube
Overview
Watch a research presentation exploring innovative methods for teaching quantum physics concepts to Year 9 students, focusing on developing age-appropriate language and activities to explain interference patterns, wave-particle duality, and quantum uncertainty. Learn how the Einstein-First program successfully introduces complex topics like photons, probability, and momentum to 14-15 year olds through a carefully sequenced curriculum spanning Years 3-10. Discover evidence-based findings showing how students gained improved understanding of quantum science principles through specialized teaching approaches and hands-on activities designed to make abstract concepts more accessible.
