Bringing Einsteinian Physics to Life in Classroom: An Inquiry-Based Workshop for Educators

Abstract
The modernization of the teaching of Physics and the integration of concepts of modern physics in the school curriculum has been a particularly important issue in recent decades, aiming at the preparation of scientifically literate citizens. This workshop is aimed at teachers who seek to integrate modern physics into their classroom through experiential and exploratory teaching. Participants will be trained in how to present complex concepts of Einstein theory and quantum physics in a way that is accessible and understandable to students. The workshop follows an exploratory methodology where teachers formulate questions, develop hypotheses and actively participate in the experimentation process, as students are expected to do at a future stage. This learning model enhances critical thinking and promotes scientific discovery with an approach that bridges the gap between theoretical physics and school teaching.
