Description

We discuss interdisciplinary approaches and their role in bringing contemporary physics topics to high school, fostering students’ motivation and interest in physics. We make an explicit example of an innovative educational program devoted to secondary school students (16-19 years old) to introduce them to gravitational physics-related topics using storytelling. We illustrate and discuss our design and methodology. We present results from the experimentation of such approaches in scientific and humanities high schools, focusing on the potentiality of our approach in orientating students towards a STEM career.
