This discussion is encouraging to me - I covered less this year than I
ever have: Mechanics; a little each of: electricity, magnetism, and nuclear
physics; and considerable time on projects.

I spent more time than ever on classroom management (trying to keep
order, writing referrals), and the school seemed to pull out the
students for field trips and special activities more than previous
years.

I hope to spend the summer revising my curriculum to be modeled after
the PRISMS approach, or similar programs - they introduce everything
through a learning cycle: an exploratory stage, then a concept
development stage, and finally an application stage.  It has been
demonstrated that this 3 stage approach does enhance the possibility
that the students will reach the formal reasoning level.

Has anyone else used the PRISMS ideas?  Is there a program that has
superceded PRISMS?
