Students not only understand physics concepts theoretically but can also see their direct application through experiments and demonstrations,” he said. He also added that activities like this are expected to foster students’ interest and motivation in the field of science, particularly physics, as well as introduce the academic environment of higher education to students at an early stage.

Through this initiative, the Department of Physics Education at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, ULM, continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting educational collaboration with secondary schools by providing interactive and practical laboratory-based learning experiences.
