Professor Ismo Koponen helps future physics teachers find ways of describing abstract concepts understandably to students. Professor of Didactical Physics oversees the training of subject teachers in ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Quantum theory explains the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, like atoms and subatomic particles. Unlike ...

Professors find ways to show students that physics is more than just a set of laws and equations. Physics is more than experiments and data. It’s also a set of underlying ideas that connect and make ...

For student learning outcomes, please see wiu.edu/provost/learningoutcomes. The science of Physics explores the basic properties of matter, energy, and their mutual ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
