Provides a refinement to the Harvard Project Physics Course handbook exercise "Stepwise Approximation to an Orbit." (CP)

Describes a three-member team approach to physics instruction using Project Physics. Emphasizes a variety of instructional techniques and activities. (CP)

Discusses the development of a model for implementing Project Physics without the use of physics teachers. Indicates that students can study Unit 3, independently, with the aid of the supplementary materials produced in this project and achieve as well as the average student in a teacher-taught class. (CC)

Briefly describes the educational situation in the Philippines and the lack of materials available. Outlines the development of a national physics curriculum combining aspects of PSSC and HPP courses. Teacher training programs were developed to implement the curriculum. (TS)

Suggests criteria for constructing a "basic" physics program based on such premises as limited class time, time and practice needed for skill development/understanding structuring of subject matter, and choices of content and approach. Long-range objectives related to the list of premises are discussed. (SK)

Presents excerpts of an interview with Philip Morrison, Institute Professor of Physics at M.I.T., who has made significant contributions to areas ranging from high-energy astrophysics to elementary school science education. (Author/SK)
