Introduction
Physics encompasses the large and the small, the old and the new. From
much a part of the world around us. It is one of the most fundamental of the
However, the 2005 findings of the two personal reviews of the European
when asked about physics, would tell that it is difficult, confusing and irrelevant to
their lives. She further explained that this is so because of the training involved in
many people do not want to spend hours on mathematical functions, which is not
The same is also true among Filipino students. Ask them and they

“hard time”. Much of what they have heard from friends and relatives about
physics courses leads them to believe that physics cannot be learned well by
average person. This is simply not true. The secret to success in a physics
course is to learn the material or concepts day by day. Trying to “cram” physics
the night before an exam is what leads to the “hard time” in the course. Physics
find the right numbers to plug into them. Physics is learned by using it day after
day to solve problems and by thinking about the concepts and relating them to
So, how do we come about it? There are many ways how to make the
learning experiences of students fun and fruitful. One can teach physics through
tricks and games that will captivate student’s interests and imaginations, thus,
paving the way for understanding the how’s and why’s of physics. In order to find
out if the combination of these strategies is effective, the researchers pursue this
research study with particular interest on the learning of students on the concepts

This study is limited only among 4th year high school students of four
private schools in Iligan City namely MSU-IIT Coop Academy, St. Therese
Academy, Sacred Heart High School and Corpus Christi Parochial School of
Iligan. The concept taught to the respondents through the use of tricks and
games revolved around Newton’s three laws of Motion. This was presented
during the later part of the second grading period of school year 2008-2009.
