- Abstract
-
This study discusses the “Physics in Films” project developed to increase student interest in physical science through the use of popular films. The programme integrates scientific concepts with movie analysis across various genres, including superheroes and pseudoscience. Findings show that film-based teaching improves engagement, flexibility in instruction, and understanding of scientific principles. The project demonstrates how cinema can serve as an effective educational tool to reduce science illiteracy and make complex scientific concepts more accessible and engaging for students.
