With the continuous innovation and development of teaching reform, not only the people-oriented teaching concept has been recognized by the public, but also various modes of education and teaching reform have developed vigorously. In this paper, according to the actual situation of the current physics classroom teaching, the interest of middle school students in learning physics and their understanding of physics history are preliminarily investigated and counted, and some basic conclusions are drawn: some extremely bad phenomena and problems exist in the current physics teaching, such as the students' interest in learning is not high, the students' knowledge of the history of physics is especially poor, and the teachers' evaluation of students is not scientific. Interest is the best teacher to teach learning. The history of physics has rich educational value, and the evaluation of education plays a very good role in promoting students' learning interest and learning effect. In this paper, the necessity and application of the history of physics in physics teaching in middle school are put forward based on the new physics curriculum standard and the research results of pedagogy and psychology.
