It is well known that secondary school pupils have lost their interest toward the subject physics.
This goes especially for problem solving, though understanding nature by physics requires the use of
mathematics and solving problems. The negative opinion of problem solving can be subdued if we
present problems for students from the real world around them, emphasising that physics has close

In this way we can make problems (simple or difficult), suitable for lessons, homework or for
project work. We have the facility to make films with pupils together, and the analysis can go
