Responding to COVID-19

PEER Physics provides resources to support instructors as they transition to remote instruction. Students are still able to learn in collaborative environments that rely on evidence and class consensus using eBook lab manuals and associated experimental videos and simulations. Every two weeks, we will be providing interactive webinars to support instructors with this transition.

I am new to PEER Physics.

Are you wanting to make this transition without abandoning student engagement in science practices? Are you looking for resources to support your transition to remote learning?

PEER Physics Mission

The PEER Physics mission is to engage students in doing science in the classroom and developing scientific principles from evidence. This process of scientific induction provides opportunities for students to engage in discussions involving shared observations, explanations, models, and consensus. In this environment, all students are invited into the learning community and provided an environment to learn. Inclusive learning environments that shift some authority from the instructor to the students can increase student access to science discourse and practices.

“Students were finding the answers without me telling them. It was much more meaningful and led to greater retention with my students. I saw the confidence in my students grow.”

PEER Physics Teacher

“The greatest thing is that if my claims are wrong, there is always encouragement to try and gather new evidence or to think of new ideas. This is how learning in the science classroom should be done.”
