Created by Leading Physics Educators

Active Physics was developed by Dr. Arthur Eisenkraft and leading physicists, physics teachers and science educators under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics.
Each Active Physics chapter was written by a dedicated team of physicists and high school teachers, supported by prominent technical editors, educational technology specialists, cognitive scientists and math curriculum specialists. Active Physics is taking the lead in the "Physics First" Movement across the nation.

Seven Thematic Units to Explore

Usual physics course work over the year is very predictable: mechanics in the fall, followed by waves in the winter, then electricity and magnetism in the spring.
In contrast, Active Physics takes a whole new approach. Keeping the National Science Education Standards in mind, it includes thematic science units the students can relate to: Communication; Home; Medicine; Predictions; Sports; Transportation and Light Up My Life.
