 * //__PER in the Classroom:__//**


 * **Modeling** from Mr Schober of St. Louis has several Modeling items on his websites: http://www.jburroughs.org/science/mschober/physics.html
 * **Interactive Lecture Demonstrations**: http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/ILD.htm
 * **CPU**:http://cpucips.sdsu.edu/web/CPU/default.html%20
 * The Constructing Physics Understanding in a Computer-Supported Learning Environment Project* (or the CPU Project) is aimed at creating laboratory and computer-based materials that support a learning environment in which students take primary responsibility for developing a valid and robust knowledge about physics.
 * **WorkShop Physics:** [|http://physics.dickinson.edu/~wp_web/WP_homepage.html]
 * Workshop Physics is one component of the [|Activity Based Physics Suite]. It is a calculus-based introductory physics curriculum designed to completely replace traditional lectures and laboratories. In a typical two-hour Workshop Physics class session, students use equipment and computer tools for data acquisition, visualization, analysis, and mathematical modeling
 * **C3P**: Comprehensive Conceptual Curriculum for Physics http://phys.udallas.edu/
 * //Comprehensive Conceptual Curriculum for Physics// (**C3P**) offers an integrated approach to physics content, instructional materials, and pedagogy. **C3P** is a research-based curriculum developed at the Department of Physics at the University of Dallas. The project is available on a single CD-ROM that includes both the curriculum and resource materials. Other physics projects such as //Conceptual Physics, PRISMS//, //CASTLE//, //Operation Physics//, //Tools for Scientific Thinking//, //Physics:// //Cinema Classics//, and //The Mechanical Universe High School Adaptation// have been utilized in the development of this curriculum. Although **C3P** was d esigned for students in grades 9 through 12, it contains an assortment of resources, making it flexible enough to accommodate a variety of teachers and students.
 * **Ranking Task in Physics.** by Thomas O'Kuma, M. Maloney, and C. Hieggelke. Student Edition ISBN 0-13-144851-X. Here is how Bill Taylor plans to use it in class (but please let's see some other ideas!) [[file:Ranking How To.doc]]
