​Why do students who excel at math often freeze when those same numbers show up in physics class? ​In Part 3 of the Teaching Physics Series, we unpack the "Translation Gap" and why tools like formula triangles can actually hinder understanding. Link in next post. ​ ​#EduSky #PhysicsTeaching #EdSci

We build internal models of how the world works long before we reach Key Stage 3. ​"Deep misunderstandings about force and motion are encoded in our schemas since we were toddlers." ​Article 2 explores why misconceptions survive our teaching: ​@chatphysics.bsky.social #EduSky #UKEdSky #ChatPhysics

Do we mask the true nature of Physics at GCSE, only to hit students with the "A-Level cliff" in Year 12? ​Part 1 of my 4-part series on the cognitive, mathematical, and cultural hurdles in physics teaching is out now: ​@chatphysics.bsky.social #EduSky #UKEdSky #ChatPhysics

Why is saying “I was rubbish at Physics at school” considered a badge of honour rather than a confession of scientific illiteracy? brianmcgovern107521.substack.com/p/why-does-g...

Why does GCSE Physics create an illusion of success?

“The puzzle is therefore not that Physics is difficult. The puzzle is why so many students discover that it is difficult only after succeeding at GCSE.”
