Abstract	Physics is often perceived by students as a difficult and abstract subject due to its heavy reliance on mathematical expressions, invisible phenomena, and complex theoretical constructs. Concepts such as force fields, electric current, atomic structure, relativity, and quantum ideas are not directly observable, making them challenging to understand. Traditional lecture-based methods frequently fail to connect these abstract ideas with students’ prior knowledge and everyday experiences. Storytelling and analogies have emerged as powerful pedagogical tools that can bridge this gap. By embedding Physics concepts within meaningful narratives and relatable comparisons, teachers can enhance conceptual understanding, retention, and student engagement. This study investigates the effectiveness of storytelling and analogies in teaching abstract Physics concepts at the secondary and higher secondary levels.
