Description
The Workshop Physics Activity Guide is a set of student workbooks designed to serve as the foundation for a two-semester calculus-based introductory physics course. It consists of 28 units that interweave text materials with activities that include prediction, qualitative observation, explanation, equation derivation, mathematical modeling, quantitative experiments, and problem solving. Students use a powerful set of computer tools to record, display, and analyze data as well as to develop mathematical models of physical phenomena. The design of many of the activities is based on the outcomes of physics education research.

Workshop Physics Activity Guide is available in four modules designed to give instructors flexibility in integrating all or some of the Workshop Physics units into their curriculum.

Workshop Physics Activity Guide Modules 1 - 4, 2nd Edition is available in 4 Parts:
