Interesting undergraduate thesis topic for Physics education

AI Thread Summary
A Physics education major in the Philippines is seeking suggestions for an undergraduate thesis topic that incorporates mathematics. The discussion highlights the importance of aligning the research with educational goals, particularly in the context of becoming a physics teacher. One proposed idea involves collaborating with a first-year physics professor to compare learning outcomes between students attending a live lecture and those watching a recorded version. This approach aims to assess the effectiveness of in-person versus online learning. However, challenges such as identifying a suitable school for the study and determining an acceptable sample size are noted as potential obstacles.

Hello everyone,
I am a Physics education major in the Philippines.I am now on the stage of doing an undergraduate thesis as a requirement for my degree. I would like to ask for suggestion out there, for an interesting topic to be considered. I would really appreciate topics that gives a little spice of mathematics.
P.S: I really love doing Mathematics.
Thanks you for those who will respond.

-KIM.

Is your goal to become a physics teacher? I would probably look for something along those lines. Maybe coordinate with a first year physics professor and see if you can video a lecture. Then get have the students in the class to attend the lecture and the other half to view the video. Get them all to write a quiz on the material and see if there is a measureable difference in those learning in person vs. those learning online.

Thank you. This is very helpful. Cool idea. The only problem is finding the resource school and the accepted number of samples.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
