Course content
This course builds on earlier physics topics from the courses Natural Science 1 and 2. It gives the students in-depth knowledge on some selected topics in physics that are relevant for the society and/or for the students' everyday life. The overarching themes for the topics are decided by the teachers, and the students acquire knowledge about these topics through inquiry-based projects.
This course gives also advanced theoretical and practical knowledge on students' conceptions in physics, and strategies taking these into account in teaching and learning at primary school level.
