WELCOME to PEER Physics! Whether you are visiting this site as a student who is engaging in a PEER Physics pilot or a teacher, administrator, or parent reviewing our curricular materials, we are grateful you’re here! We strive to support teachers and students with discovering joy in the process of teaching and learning physics in the same way that scientists do science – through collecting evidence and deciding on ideas as a community!
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
The PEER Physics Student Guides facilitate the Learning Cycle from Initial Ideas through Consensus Building. Phenomena, Scientists’ Ideas readings, Engineering Design Challenges, and assessments are found in the Web-Based Teacher Resources. Refer to this Navigation Guide for support.
Student Guides here are for preview only; partnerships provide spiral-bound print guides and optional eBooks with enhanced accessibility and collaboration features.
NEW PATTERNS CHAPTER!
Don’t forget to check out the new Patterns Chapter (Ch.P), which will be available in print and eBook formats for the 2026-27 school year. Find Chapter P Resources, including the student guide activities, on the PEER Physics web-based teacher resources site: Patterns Chapter Hub (teacher login required).
