Our research-based High School program, Active Physics engages students through real-world challenges and projects that require science content knowledge coupled with student creativity to complete. Students engage in the inquiry process from start to finish by observing, exploring, and building models before constructing explanations of phenomena. The curriculum prepares students for the 21st century, college, and workforce readiness through STEM activities that involve collaboration, communication, development of explanations, critical thinking, data collection, organization and analyzation of data, observation, and interpretation, and using evidence to support claims. Students engage with complex situations and collaborate on what they need to learn to manage the situation effectively. They are motivated to learn science in the context of highly engaging and authentic “real- world” projects that guide instruction and serve to organize their learning. Students will learn science the way real scientists learn science. The curriculum is designed to provide students with opportunities to address interesting complex problems that can be explored at many levels of sophistication. Core content, scientific and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts combined with strong literacy integration, render this curriculum both accessible to and rigorous for ALL students, ensuring that all have equal opportunities to learn.

The curriculum prepares students for the 21st century, college, and workforce readiness through building critical skills that include, collaboration, communication, development of explanations, critical thinking, data collection, organization and analyzation of data, observation, and interpretation, to use as evidence to support claims. Speaking and writing about scientific phenomena and engineering solutions is an integral part of the challenge for every chapter. Using scientific evidence is fundamental to students understanding and presentations of their projects.
