Description
The Einstein-First project aims to develop a reformed curriculum to integrate Einsteinian physics at schools. The project has developed hands on activities, models and resources for introducing Einsteinian physics at schools.
Researchers in astrophysics and education are investigating the ability of schoolchildren to understand Einsteinian physics through class intervention and teacher education. The project also explores family education and public outreach.
The Einstein-First Project currently works with school students from 8 year old to 17 year old within Western Australia.
