The Amherst group has posted papers
<http://umperg.physics.umass.edu/> that show that it is possible to
teach HS students "concept based problem solving" which resembles the
expert problem solving practiced by professional physicists.

The more recent and correct URL for the Amherst Physics Education
Research (PER) Group is <http://www.physics.umass.edu/research/per>.

URL's for PER Groups throughout the world can be found at the
University of Maryland's "Science and Physics Education Homepages
<http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/homepages.htm> (Their URL for
Amherst has evidently not been updated.)
