Abstract
New secondary physics curriculum depends on Context-based Learning approach requires new learning materials for teachers who play a key role in student learning. In this study, the effects of some hands on physics activities designed through various contexts with real life applications and also presented in physics courses during the spring semester in 2008-2009 academic years by 39 students in 9th and 10th on their levels of knowledge and interest were researched. Action research design was employed in this study. The data was collected by the participants within Grade 9 and 10 physics course with observational and semi-structured interview methods in this study. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive method. In result of this study, it is seen that using hands on activities with real life applications makes physics concepts able to concrete in mind, more clear, understandable and interesting. This study also researches the applicability of these kinds of physics activities in new physics curriculum.
