    Default Difference between " teaching physics" and "physics teaching"

    Hi,
    Could you please tell me the difference (if any) between " teaching physics" and "physics teaching"?
    The sentence is " Students will use common softwares in teaching physics."
    I presume that "physics teaching" is incorrect but I have seen some people using it so I started wondering ...
    Thanks a lot.
    Have a great day.
    H

    "Teaching physics" would be the normal way to say it.

    Software is also uncountable. Common software or common software applications, but not common softwares.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
