The State of High School Physics and Physics First
written by
Paul Hickman
published by the Physics Teacher Education Coalition
The Physics First program leads to a higher proportion of students who maintain an interest in science after completing high school, presumably leading to a similarly increased number of physics majors at university. It is difficult, however, to maintain the program without an active faculty advocate, especially as it is often opposed by parents, administrators, and school boards.
