Workshops : University of Dallas Integrated Physics and Chemistry Project

The Integrated Physics and Chemistry curriculum provides teachers with research-based activities,using Casio data collectors and graphing calculators, that promote active learning. Teachers will find in the curriculum activities that investigate fundamental concepts of physics and chemistry embedded in learning strategies that draw out students' ideas, promote critical thinking skills,guide students in the formation of mathematical models, and assess students' understanding of the concepts.

The activities use motion detectors, accelerometers, light, temperature, pH, voltage, and pressure
probes to investigate such concepts as velocity and acceleration graphs, Newton's laws, air resistance,
capacitance, sound waves, Boyle's law, acid rain, and chemical reaction rates.
