Abstract: The paper presents results of the research of new effective teaching methods in physics and
science. It is found out that it is necessary to educate pre-service teachers in approaches stressing the importance
of the own activity of students, in competences how to create an interdisciplinary project. Project-based physics
teaching and learning seems to be one of the most effective methods for teaching science for understanding. It is
necessary to provide in-service teachers instruction (seminars) and prepare sample projects with proposals how to
develop, run and evaluate interdisciplinary projects. Projects are important “real-world” physics modules, modern
physics and everyday life problems can be integrated into the high school curriculum. Examples of projects that
were worked out are presented.
