ABSTRACT
“Literature in physics
class? Oh, you mean physics texts and texts from physics books!” “No literary
texts. They exist, those passages in
literature that are directly related to physics.” Contrary to schoolbooks,
scientific facts are only incidental
here and sometimes treated in a very imaginative way. For example, unsound
physics are explained by magic. Physics becomes embedded into a context
and introduced to support plots, adventures, and so on. This article intends to bring to light the possibilities of
combining literature and physics in school lessons. In addition, the partial gap
between natural science and humanities or social sciences will be addressed and
attempted to be bridged.
KEYWORDS
