美国物理教师协会 物理研究所和美国物理学会将 开发一个创新的，为期一年的物理课程，适合 9到12年级的学生。 该课程将包括 六个主题单位-康乐，运输， 通讯和信息，卫生和医药， 工业和家庭-这将重新审视一些重要的 基本物理概念的螺旋方法， 新的现实世界的背景。 该课程将 符合AAAS 2061主题，特别是材料和 能量，可以在一年内教授，也可以在四年内传播 年 学生的数学水平将得到提高 符合NCTM标准。 一种建构主义 方法和使用合作分组战略将 纳入课程设计。 学生将 能够认识并开始理解广泛的统一 物理和技术的概念，以获得欣赏 科学是一个将概念应用于现实的过程， 解决问题和决策活动，并 确定和评估个人和社会影响 技术. 这些材料将由以下团队开发： 科学家和高中教师的支持， 认知科学家、课程专家和技术 教育工作者 将为教师提供知识、技能 并支持有效利用这些材料。

The American Association of Physics Teachers, the American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society will develop an innovative, year-long physics course suitable for students in grades 9 through 12. The course will consist of six thematic units - recreation, transportation, communications and information, health and medicine, industry, and home - that will revisit a few important fundamental physics concepts in a spiral approach applying them to new, real-world contexts. The course will be consistent with AAAS 2061 themes, particularly materials and energy, and can be taught in one year or spread through four years. The mathematical level of students will be enhanced in accordance with the NCTM Standards. A constructivist approach and the use of cooperative grouping strategies will be incorporated in the curriculum design. Students will be able to recognize and begin to understand broad unifying concepts of physics and technology, to gain an appreciation of science as a process to apply the concepts to realistic problem-solving and decision making activities, and to identify and evaluate personal and societal impacts of technology. The materials will be developed by teams of scientists and high school teachers with support from cognitive scientists, curriculum experts, and technology educators. Teachers will be provided with knowledge, skills and support to make effective use of the materials.
