AB  - Study explores an innovative approach to physics education that combines the popularity of internet memes with the effectiveness of heuristic teaching methods. Specifically, it focuses on utilizing the "magnet car" meme to address common misconceptions among students regarding fundamental physics principles. Through a series of experiments and active student engagement, the study found that this approach significantly improves students' understanding of physical phenomena. The research was conducted using an action research design involving four cycles, with each cycle increasing the complexity of tasks. Methods such as interviews and pedagogical observations were employed. The results demonstrate that connecting popular culture with scientific concepts can be an effective tool for motivating students and improving their outcomes in physics education.
