My experience with learing is that a light taste of something early

that later when looked at in more depth its not such a steep learning

for instance just the notion that there are such things as atoms
etc..and that those consist of parts also..

The base notions of quantum physics and relativity can be mentioned
in a few 10 minute segments in the earlier grades... just the notion
of a quanta of force required to start a reaction... demonstrated
with a friction block on a plane as a rough analogy.

Teaching the ideas of quantum physics in a formal classroom setting
seems to be largely a pointless exercise for the most part.

It's probably easier for kids to read about it on their own, if it
sparks their interest. These days all it takes is some googling.


I am not suggesting that quantum physics be 'taught' in the jr
grades... just the construct mentioned in a few spots for a few
seconds or minutes here and there.

the brain it seems takes those seeds and grows them just in day to day
living ..then when it runs into the full dose later, there is fertile
ground. imo
