‘Why don’t you just tell us what light really is?’ Easy-to-implement teaching materials that link quantum physics to nature of science

Abstract High school students’ difficulties with quantum physics (QP) are partly due to their limited understanding of the nature science (NOS). The essence QP can only be understood informed views about NOS aspects such as role models and relevance controversies between physicists. Inversely, is an ideal topic for teaching NOS. However, secondary textbooks seldom support teachers explicitly address in QP. Drawing on a five year research program, including observations students teachers, we present resources that link Our materials active reflective learning activities, while being adaptable teachers’ individual needs affordances. We hope inspire lessons.
