A pilot course for teachers was taught at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) during an intensive two-week summer session in 2001. The participants consisted of 16 in-service teachers and one preservice teacher. Their years of teaching experience ranged from zero to 30 years. The course, Physics and Physical Science for Teachers, covered introductory mechanics and some chemistry. It included a combination of science content and reformed pedagogy, as co-taught by faculty from departments of physics and education.
