Active Physics Revision

由美国国家科学基金会资助的《活跃物理》已被证明是一本广泛使用的高中物理教材，满足了城市地区不同学生群体的需求，并增加了九年级学生学习物理的人数。这一发展的目标是向更广泛的受众介绍物理教学，提供一种真实的物理方法，并创建反映学生如何学习的已知材料。现在，“活跃的物理学”将被修订成一个单独的卷，强调物理学的组织原则。内容进行了重组，并增加了九年级物理教学的内容，作为三门课程科学序列的第一部分。额外的材料扩展了高级学生的内容，并增加了数学的使用。这些材料解决了物理教师和其他领域的科学教师在九年级物理教学中的专业发展需求。广泛的评估探讨学生的表现。

"Active Physics," previously funded by NSF, has proven to be a widely used high school physics text, meeting the needs of diverse groups of students in urban areas and increasing the number of ninth graders taking physics. The goals of that development were to introduce physics instruction to a wider audience, to provide for a real-world approach to physics and to create materials that reflect what was known about how students learn. Now "Active Physics" is to be revised into a single volume emphasizing the organizing principles of physics. The content is restructured and content added for teaching physics to ninth graders as the first part of a three-course science sequence. Additional materials extend the content for advanced students and increase the use of mathematics. The materials address the need for professional development of physics teachers and of science teachers in other fields to teach physics to ninth graders. An extensive evaluation explores student performance.
