It consists of 28 units that interweave text materials with activities that include prediction, qualitative observation, explanation, equation derivation, mathematical modeling, quantitative experiments, and problem solving. Students use a powerful set of computer tools to record, display, and analyze data, as well as to develop mathematical models of physical phenomena. The design of many of the activities is based on the outcomes of physics education research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eWorkshop Physics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eActivity Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is supported by an Instructor’s Website that: (1) describes the history and philosophy of the Workshop Physics Project; (2) provides advice on how to integrate the Guide into a variety of educational settings; (3) provides information on computer tools (hardware and software) and apparatus; and (4) includes suggested homework assignments for each unit.  Log on to the Workshop Physics Project website at \u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dickinson.edu\/homepage\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.dickinson.edu\/homepage\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorkshop Physics\u003c\/i\u003e is a component of the \u003ci\u003ePhysics Suite\u003c\/i\u003e––a collection of materials created by a group of educational reformers known as the \u003ci\u003eActivity Based Physics Group.\u003c\/i\u003e The \u003ci\u003ePhysics Suite\u003c\/i\u003e contains a broad array of curricular materials that are based on physics education research, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Physics,\u003c\/i\u003e by Cummings, Laws, Redish and Cooney (an introductory textbook based on the best-selling text by Halliday\/Resnick\/Walker)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eRealTime Physics Laboratory Modules\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePhysics by\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eInquiry\u003c\/i\u003e (intended for use in a workshop setting)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eInteractive Lecture Demonstration\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eTutorials in Introductory Physics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eActivity Based Tutorials\u003c\/i\u003e (designed primarily for use in recitations)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eModule 1.  \u003cp\u003eUnit 1.
