Teachers Edition and Professional Development Video were very useful in implementing the program

"My background as a scientist gave me the understanding that the best way to learn science was by doing science. That's why I enjoyed teaching Active Physics . It engaged my students and I feel they got a better handle on understanding the physics concepts."
