Doll's House Physics
ARTICLE

Physics Education Volume 44, Number 2, ISSN 0031-9120

Abstract

School physics rarely stands still for long. Environmental physics is now an option in some post-16 courses in England. The physics of environments, and in particular the built environment, offers a recognizable context in which to see the applications of physics at work. This article considers how a model doll's house might be used to help learners understand energy transfer, thermal equilibrium, energy management, and responsible citizenship. (Contains 6 photos, 1 box, and 5 footnotes.)
