Aspects of the Visual Quantum Mechanics instructional materials have been adapted and implemented into a university physical science course for pre-service elementary education majors and various high school physics classrooms.  These materials utilize a learning cycle pedagogy involving interactive, simulation computer programs and inexpensive devices to introduce basic quantum physics ideas within the context of fundamental physics concepts.  A brief description of how these materials and strategies were adapted and implemented in high school classrooms will be provided.  The results found on student conceptual learning and student/instructor attitudes and beliefs will also be briefly discussed.
