METHODOLOGY OF PHYSICAL MODELING OF “GREEN ENERGY” AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL PHYSICS LESSONS

Abstract

This article explores the methodological foundations for integrating modern environmental problems and “green energy” technologies into the school physics curriculum. The author substantiates the role of physical modeling in transforming traditional physics lessons within the context of the global energy crisis and climate change, as well as in developing students’ ecological thinking. The article proposes interactive methods for modeling the operating principles of solar panels, wind generators, and geothermal energy sources through physical processes such as the photoelectric effect, electromagnetic induction, and thermodynamics. The results of the study show that analyzing environmental problems using the laws of physics not only increases students’ interest in the subject, but also helps develop their skills and competencies related to sustainable development.
