Abstract

There are many teaching strategies in physics to help students learn concepts, laws and principles as well as science process skills. One of the most enjoyable and creative classroom activities is an educational game, not only for the students but for the teacher as well. Physics concepts and skills can be introduced, reinforced or mastered through games that are excellent motivational tools in the teaching-learning process.
The proponents will share their experiences in the use of games as a fun and effective tool in the teaching of NASC 3 (Physics in Everyday Life), a general education course under the Revitalized General Education Program of UPLB. The teacher-participants will be encouraged to join in some games and later on to create/design their own.
