written by Eugenia Etkina, Alan Van Heuvelen, Suzanne White Brahmia, and Xueli Zou

This website contains background information and resources for the ISLE curriculum in physics. This approach to teaching physics has students perform experiments and build models in a manner similar to physics research. Included are example labs and curricular materials, research results, and discussion boards.

This work is sponsored, in part, by the National Science Foundation.
