Design and Implementation of an Einsteinian Energy Learning Module

Abstract The most famous equation in physics, E = mc 2 , is rarely introduced middle school physics curricula. Recent research has shown that teaching Einsteinian concepts at the level feasible and beneficial. This paper analyses an energy module for Year 8 students (13–14 years old), which encompasses two fundamental formulas modern hf . In context of activity-based learning, relates to all forms traditional study uses a design-based approach within Model Educational Reconstruction framework. Modern experiments, historical events, educational helped us identify relevant concepts, activities, assessments. included 22 who participated nine in-class lessons. Analysing results post-test showed 31% mean increase from pre-test, clear significant positive change students’ conceptual understanding. demonstrated ability deal with very large small constants proportionality physical involved module.
