The Workshop Physics Activity Guide is a set of student workbooks designed to serve as the foundation for a
two-semester calculus-based introductory physics course. 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.
