This is the website for those who want to use, learn about, and share their experiences while working in the Investigative Science Learning Environment - a guided inquiry physics comprehensive learning system.

Visit this website if you want to learn how to use videotaped physics experiments for data collection, construction of physics concepts, and testing of ideas.

This website has the formative assessment tasks, design labs, etc., and self-assessment rubrics to help students develop scientific abilities while learning physics. The website also contains pdfs of papers related to these subjects.

This is the first methods course in the physics teacher preparation program. It deals with the history of physics and helps understand where student difficulties come from.

This is the course that accompanies student teaching of pre-service physics teachers.

This is the last methods course in the physics teacher preparation program. It deals with problem solving, cognitive science applications to instruction, and language issues in physics.

A summer course where students take part in the Rutgers Astrophysics Institute learning how to bring authentic science in the classroom and practice ISLE.

This is the second course in the program. Helps students learn how to plan, carry out and assess instruction. Uses the ISLE approach to teaching.
