  The Einstein-First project approaches the teaching of Einsteinian physics
through the use of physical models and analogies. This paper presents an
approach to the teaching of quantum physics which begins by emphasising the
particle-nature of light through the use of toy projectiles to represent
photons. This allows key concepts including the spacing between photons, and
photon momentum to be introduced. This in-turn allows an intuitive
understanding of the uncertainty principle. We present optical interference in
the context of individual photons, using actual videos showing the development
of images one at a time This enables simple laser interference experiments to
be interpreted through the statistical arrival of photons. The wave aspects of
quantum phenomenon are interpreted in terms of the wavelike nature of the
arrival probabilities.
