Abstract
Although most teachers agree on the need for
experiments in the teaching and learning of
Physics, experimentation in schools often
consists of students being asked to follow a series of
instructions so as to arrive at a predetermined result
or verify a previously stated law. This approach is
aimed more at getting predictable results rather
than encouraging students to use experiments to
explore questions themselves. This is perhaps one
of the reasons why teachers see very little value in
conducting experiments in their classrooms. How,
then, do we rethink the kind of experiments we use
to teach physics in school? In this article, we use
Archimedes principle to explore answers to this
question.
