Building physics foundations
For students developing confidence with forces, motion, energy and the language used to describe physical change.
Understanding Einstein: physics enrichment in Dubai
Understanding Einstein is a physics enrichment programme for children and teenagers in Dubai. Through experiments, demonstrations and groups of no more than two students, learners explore motion, energy, electricity, waves, mechanics and space.
- KHDA-approved learning centre
- Maximum 2 students per educator
- Initial physics skills review
- Available in Dubai Silicon Oasis and Mirdif 35
How Understanding Einstein helps your child
Understanding Einstein helps students make sense of physics through practical demonstrations, clear explanations and connections to the world around them.
- Understand how physics explains movement, forces and energy.
- Connect abstract ideas to experiments and everyday situations.
- Develop analytical reasoning through prediction and evidence.
- Explain observations and solve problems more confidently.
How Understanding Einstein supports different learning needs
Students can begin with different levels of physics knowledge and analytical confidence. These are not fixed levels: the initial review helps us decide where the emphasis should begin.
Learning through demonstration
For students who understand more clearly when a model, experiment or real-world example makes an idea visible.
Analytical problem-solving
For students ready to predict outcomes, compare evidence and work through multi-step physical reasoning.
What happens during the initial physics skills review?
The review gives Prep Up and the parent a clearer picture of how the child currently understands physical ideas and reasons through a problem. It is used to choose a useful starting point, not to label the student.
The expected review length is confirmed when booking because it depends on the learner's age and starting point.

- How it shapes the plan
- The findings help set the first learning priorities and guide the balance between explanation, demonstration and problem-solving.
Physics ideas students explore
Students connect motion, energy, electricity, waves and space through explanation and investigation. The initial review helps determine where to begin.
Forces and motion
Exploring how forces change movement and how speed, direction and acceleration can be described.
Energy
Understanding transfers, stores and the ways energy changes form in systems and everyday situations.
Electricity
Investigating circuits, current, voltage and how electrical components work together.
Waves
Connecting sound, light and other wave behaviour to frequency, wavelength and practical observation.
Mechanics
Applying forces, motion and energy to machines, structures and multi-step physical problems.
Space and the universe
Exploring gravity, orbits, stars and the evidence used to understand large-scale physical systems.
What an Understanding Einstein session can look like
Sessions adapt to the student's learning plan, but the sequence remains practical and purposeful. A session may move through these five stages.
Begin with a physical question
The educator introduces a motion, energy or real-world observation connected to the student’s current priority.
Make a prediction
The student uses current understanding to predict what may happen and explains the reasoning behind it.
Test the idea
A demonstration, model or practical activity makes the physical relationship visible and provides evidence.
Analyse the result
The student compares the observation with the prediction and explains the result using appropriate physics ideas.
Review what comes next
The educator records what is becoming secure and identifies the next physics idea or reasoning skill to strengthen.
How Understanding Einstein works at Prep Up
The programme begins with the child’s current physics understanding, then develops through demonstration, focused problem-solving and regular review.
- 1
Initial skills review
We identify which physics ideas feel secure and where explanation, analysis or problem-solving needs attention.
- 2
Focused learning plan
The starting point is translated into clear physics and analytical-reasoning priorities suited to the student’s needs.
- 3
Practical small-group sessions
With no more than two students per educator, there is time for demonstration, questions and direct guidance.
- 4
Progress review
We review what has become clearer, identify the next physics priority and adjust the plan when needed.
Clear progress updates for parents
Prep Up keeps parents informed about what their child understands more confidently, which physics or analytical skills still need attention and what they will work on next.

Straightforward answers about the starting point, physics areas, practical sessions and progress.
Who is Understanding Einstein for?
Understanding Einstein is designed for learners who want to make sense of motion, energy, electricity, waves and the physics of the world around them. An initial review helps us confirm the starting point.
What happens during the initial physics skills review?
The review helps us understand the student’s current physics knowledge, analytical reasoning and ability to explain observations. We use this information to decide what should receive attention first.
Which physics areas can the programme cover?
Students can explore forces and motion, energy, electricity, waves, mechanics and space and the universe. The balance depends on the student’s starting point.
How many students attend each session?
Sessions are limited to a maximum of two students per educator, allowing time for direct guidance and questions.
Does Understanding Einstein follow one fixed sequence?
No. Physics ideas are connected throughout the programme, but the emphasis and sequence are shaped by the student’s starting point and progress.
How are parents kept informed?
Prep Up explains which physics ideas have become clearer, which analytical or practical skills still need attention and what the student will work on next.
