College Ready Physics Standards: A Look to the Future written by Patricia Heller and Gay Stewart This document contains a set of K-12 educational standards for physics. This work is an extension of Advanced Placement standards to a full K-12 progression of physics concepts. There are five main standards each with a set of objectives, foundation knowledge statements, conceptual learning targets, and learning outcomes. The document also includes instructional guides for each of the standards and objectives to help teachers interpret and address the learning outcomes. These guides include common student difficulties and the content boundaries for each grade band, as well as example activities, questions, and problems.

The Interactive Learning Toolkit helps you implement innovative teaching ideas, such as Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time-Teaching, and to monitor your students' learning.

Sample materials for Learning the Game of Science.  Students have to read board game moves to determine the rules of the game.  Like scientists collect data to determine the rules of the universe.

Problem=Based Learning for College Physics

This site helps Physics teachers utilize Lego NXT 2-motor cars to drive with constant acceleration. This enables students to learn motion by way of investigation.

Active learning

The Power of Ideas is an interactive learning module designed to help you understand these paradigm shifts - exactly what about our conceptual frameworks was unified, and the transformative effect it has had on our world.
