The Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) was formed in 1956 by a group of university and secondary school physics teachers to develop an improved introductory high school physics course. The PSSC organized teams of teachers to create instructional materials including a textbook, films, labs, and tests. These materials were tested in classrooms for 3 years before being finalized. The goal of the PSSC course was to present a modern view of physics and encourage scientific inquiry in students.

CHEM study.
Chem study originated in 1960 at United States J.A Campbell was the project Director.
Chem Study employs inductive approach in which practical work precedes theory. The
main objectives of the course are
1) To diminish the separation between Scientist and teachers in the understanding of
Science.
2) To stimulate and prepare those high school students who planned to continue the
study of Chemistry in College in preparation for a professional career.
The materials produced under this project consists of a text, laboratory manual ,
teachers guide, two self instruction programmes two series of achievement tests,
26 basic films and 27 teacher training films.
Chemical Bond Approach (CBA)
CBA course was originated in 1959. Lawrence Strong was the founder of this
project. In CBA theory precedes practical work, ie, it is deductive in approach.
Important texts are Chemical system and investigating Chemical system. The concept of
bonding forms the central theme in C.B.A. The whole course is planned in such a
manner that experiments suggest the ideas to be tested and ideas to be tested suggest the
experiments to be setup.

Today’s Software Defined environments attempt to remove the weakness of computing hardware from the operational equation. There is no doubt that this is a natural progress away from overpriced, proprietary compute and storage layers. However, even at the heart of any Software Defined universe is an underlying hardware stack that must be robust, reliable and cost effective. Our 20+ years experience delivering over 2000 clusters and clouds has taught us how to properly design and engineer the right hardware solution for Big Data, Cluster and Cloud environments. This presentation will share this knowledge allowing user to make better design decisions for any deployment.
Nature of Physics and Issues in Teaching Physics.pptxGhoxmancow
NATURE/CHARACTERISTICS OF PHYSICS
Facts: P hysics gives all the "how's" in a world of "what's." It is a science of matter and its
behavior.
Observation: Act of monitoring or observing something or someone. Observed
phenomenon by counting or measuring of any events, behaviour, changes etc.
Rules & Principle: All its rules and principles are universal in nature. Be it its effects,
formulas, laws. Laws of nature as expressed in physics as laws and theories are often said
to be universal. This means that, so far as we have been able to test them, they apply
everywhere and at every time, past, present and future. (T&C apply)
Dynamic Study: Physics is ever changing, updated, improved over the years. With
advancement in technology comes better understanding, refined and enrich ideas.
Mathematics: An analogy, a tool and a language of physics. Translate abstract
mathematical knowledge into complex ideas.
Accuracy & Precision:
•
Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the correct value for that measurement.
•
Precision of a measurement system refers to how close the agreement is between
repeated measurements (which are repeated under the same conditions).
“A good analogy for understanding accuracy and precision is to imagine a basketball
player shooting baskets. If the player shoots with accuracy, his aim will always take the
ball close to or into the basket. If the player shoots with precision, his aim will always take
the ball to the same location which may or may not be close to the basket. A good player
will be both accurate and precise by shooting the ball the same way each time and each
time making it in the basket.”
Physical Quantity: In physics, there are seven fundamental physical quantities that
are measured in base or physical fundamental units: length, mass, time, electric
current temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Units for other
physical quantities (such as force, speed, and electric charge) described by
mathematically combining these seven base units.
ISSUES OF TEACHING PHYSICS
Some issues in the field of physics education includes the availability of appropriate
textbooks and classroom resources, the preparation and training of physics teachers
Difficult to learn: This may be one of the major problems in
teaching physics. There seems to be an inherent idea held within
society that science in general is difficult to learn. The students
with this attitude make it harder for them to concentrate and
actually love studying the subject. This in turn hinders some of the
subject teachers to lose their interest in teaching the students.
Poor mathematical knowledge: With physics being an applied
mathematics, it will be tough and challenging for weak
mathematics background students, leading to lose of interest and
ultimately may discontinuing with the subject in higher studies.
Abstract Ideas: With students varied ability to deal with
abstraction of ideas, teachers may have to start the session
from scratch as physics require

Thinking through Ethnoscientific Scenarios for Physics Teaching Implication f...ijtsrd
The study was focused on Physics teachers’ perception on the use of ethnoscience learning experiences for the teaching of secondary school Physics and its implication for curriculum implementation. Six research questions and six hypotheses were posited for the study. The cross sectional survey research design was employed for the study. 243 secondary school Physics teachers in three Urban Local Government Areas Port Harcourt, Obio Akpor and Eleme and four rural Local Government Areas Ikwerre, Khana, Ahoada East and Ahoada West in Rivers State, Nigeria were selected using the non proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data collecting instrument was titled “Ethnoscience Learning Experience for Physics Teaching Questionnaire” with a coefficient reliability index of 0.86 was used to elicit response from the respondents. Data was analyzed using frequency count, mean, and inferential statics of t test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the following themes Interaction of Matter, Space and Time, Conservative Principle, Waves Motion without material transfer and Fields at rest and in motion can be taught using ethnoscience learning experiences while themes such as Energy quantization and duality of matter and Physics in technology cannot be taught using ethnoscience learning experiences. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that stakeholders and planners of the secondary school Physics curriculum should consider the integration of ethnoscience learning experiences in the Physics curriculum in order to clarify those abstract concepts in learning of Physics.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. THE PHYSICAL SCIENCE STUDY COMMITTEE
(P.S.S.C)
Founder: Uri Haber Sehaim (1959-1968), MIT, Cambridge
The physical science study committee was formed in 1956 as a
group of university and secondary school physics teachers working to develop an improved
introductory physics course. The committee is developing interrelated teaching material for
physics in the secondary school. Materials intended for direct instructional use include a
textbook, laboratory apparatus and a laboratory guidebook for students, motion picture films, and
a set of ten achievement tests. Supporting materials include a 4 volume teachers guide and
resource book, and a series of paperback book that provide authoritative science literature for
students and adults
To help teachers who are considering the use of these materials, the committee has encouraged
the development of instructional programs that enable teachers to study the new course in detail.
For its various activities, the committee organized team of university and secondary school
teachers. These teams blended teaching experience at several levels with deep insight in to the
nature and meaning of physics. The material developed by these teams were used in classes and
subjected to close scrutiny by the teachers who used them and by the committee’s staff
observers. The course materials were tried evaluated, and revised for 3 years before they were
released for general use in the fall of 1960.
AIM
1. To present a view of modern physics to the student.
3. 2. In order to achieve this aim, the committee has devoted its efforts to develop
a course involving scientific inquiry on the part of the students, equally
important, that the student see physics as an unfinished and continuing
activity.
3. Stresses on understanding of facts, how to use them for interpreting more
complex physical phenomena.
