21st Century Physics in the Physics Classroom

This educational research is about teaching electromagnetic interaction or rock formation. We use   papers showing the elementary electron-electron-photon Feynman diagrams or  sentimentation -metamorphism-melting geo-diagrams. The individual papers could be rotated, inverted, and combined to provide diagrams for any electromagnetic interaction process or rock formation. Combining orientations of single paper ,we make combinations of three or more papers.  Time is running vertically upward in every diagram. Given the opportunity to manipulate the papers, students became involved and rapidly developed understanding of electromagnetic interaction or rock formation. The students did strikingly better on the post-tests than the pre-tests.Presenting Author: GEORGE KONTOKOSTAS, NATIONAL AND KAPODISTRIAN UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS
