How to Introduce Modern Physics Topics in High School Curriculum?

A Proposal

  • Chapter
Thinking Physics for Teaching

Abstract

The regular High School Physics curriculum deals with concepts which have been elaborated mainly during the 17th and 18th centuries. This fact has worried several re searchers, not only in Physics Teaching but also in Pure and Applied Physics areas.
