Interweaving concepts in the classroom: matter and property an innovative teaching strategy

Abstract

This innovative pedagogical approach proposes to merge the traditional teaching of the subject and its
properties with the fundamental principles of quantum science. The strategy seeks to transcend the classical view
and present students with a deeper and richer understanding of reality at the subatomic level. By exploring how quantum particles exhibit behaviors such as superposition and entanglement, analogies and models can be offered that illuminate the macroscopic properties of matter in a novel and stimulating way. The integration of
quantum concepts is not intended for a deep dive into the complex mathematics of quantum physics, but rather
to use its core ideas as conceptual tools to foster curiosity and critical thinking. The aim is for students to understand that the properties we observe at the macro level have their origin in the peculiar behavior of the particles that make up matter. This perspective can reinvigorate the teaching of topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonds, and the properties of materials, offering a more fundamental and connected view of the physical world. By "interweaving" these concepts, it is hoped to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the intrinsically quantum nature of reality and spark interest in science in general.
