Physics can feel intimidating, but mastering problem-solving is about mindset, strategy, and practice—not innate genius. Research-backed approaches like Polya’s method, inquiry-based learning, and the ...

John Lukowski, a first-year electrical engineering major, competed in the International Young Physicists’ Tournament in Thailand over the summer. Lukowski’s team presented solutions to nearly 20 ...

Neil Downie believes that supporting students to devise, build and test their own projects can help to get them and their teachers interested in and enjoying physics Practical solutions Students who ...

It's still near the beginning of the semester for most introductory physics courses—so it's not too late to give some physics advice. I know it might be hard to believe—at least it is for me—but I ...

Physics at CWRU isn’t just about lectures and labs—it’s about using every tool, resource, and mindset shift to deepen understanding. From peer tutoring to AI-assisted problem solving, students have ...

As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

Student learning in upper-division physics courses is a growing area of research in the field of Physics Education. Developing effective new curricular materials and pedagogical techniques to improve ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...
