美国物理教师协会、美国物理学会和美国物理学会将开发一门创新的、为期一年的物理课程，适合9至12年级的学生。该课程将包括六个主题单元--娱乐、交通、通信和信息、健康和医药、工业、和家--这将以螺旋的方式重温几个重要的基本物理概念，并将它们应用到新的、现实世界的背景中。该课程将与AAAS 2061主题一致，特别是材料和能源，可以在一年内教授，也可以分四年教授。学生的数学水平将根据NCTM标准得到提高。课程设计中将融入建构主义方法和合作分组策略的使用。学生将能够识别和开始理解广泛的物理和技术统一概念，将科学理解为将这些概念应用于现实问题解决和决策活动的过程，并识别和评估技术对个人和社会的影响。这些材料将由科学家和高中教师团队开发，并得到认知科学家、课程专家和技术教育工作者的支持。教师将获得知识、技能和支持，以便有效地使用这些材料。

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.
