Physics

To make learners interested in the science of Physics, teachers resort to interdisciplinary knowledge. For example, in the 7th grade during the study of equilibrium forces learners are advised to choose any of the paintings to the fable "The Swan, the Cancer and the Pike." Having drawn the scheme of the picture, having indicated the directions of movement and having graphically figured the equivalence of the three forces, learners decide whether the illustrator has correctly depicted their directions believing that “things haven’t moved an inch” (ed. according to the moral of Krylov’s fable).

For sure, Physics is experimental. The lessons combine a heuristic method of studying the science and carrying out educational experiments (demonstrational, frontal, experimental tasks, etc.). An important role is assigned to laboratory tests, for which the children systematically gradually prepare (they learn structure, the principle of action and the rules of using new means of measurement; they carry out training exercises, learn to mind the rules of processing the measurement results, and solve relevant experimental tasks).
