This chapter highlights the modeling approach to high school physics instruction—a curriculum design that engages students in constructing a few basic models of physics. Model development begins with students working in cooperative groups, designing experiments, analyzing results, orally communicating them to the rest of the class, proposing a model, and justifying a scientific claim. The modeling approach incorporates much of the vision of the changing emphasis of the National Science Education Standards.
