[Phys-l] Pilot 9th grade physics with inquiry



I recently received a request from some colleagues at the Educational Development Center to find teachers who would be willing to pilot a new 9th grade physics curriculum.

The curriculum program, Foundation Science, is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and aligns with the National standards including the AAAS, MCREL, and National Research Council’s guidelines for all the high school sciences Our advisors, reviewers, and former field test teachers nation-wide include National Board Certified teachers, college professors and leaders in the field of teaching and professional development. There is also the possibility of a professional development opportunity associated with the field test.

Their website: http://cse.edc.org/curriculum/foundationscience/ provides more detail and the field test questionnaires.

Below is the flyer for the physics course. If you have interest colleagues, there are also courses in chemistry and in biology. For more information, contact C. Judd Hill at EDC:
