Karting as a Context for Innovative Approaches to Teaching Physics in Primary School

Teaching physics in primary school often encounters challenges related to student motivation and the comprehension of abstract physical concepts. Consequently, contemporary education increasingly adopts innovative teaching approaches that emphasise experiential learning and the interdisciplinary integration of educational content. This paper examines the use of karting as an educational context for innovative approaches to teaching physics in primary school. Karting offers a practical framework for exploring fundamental physical principles such as motion, forces, balance, aerodynamics and energy. By embedding physics concepts within a technically relevant and engaging context, it is possible to foster a clearer connection between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications.The aim of this paper is to highlight the educational potential of karting-based contexts in innovative physics teaching and to encourage further consideration of such approaches as a complement to traditional methods in primary education.
