The Bootstrap:Physics materials are the result of the Computational Modeling in Physics First with Bootstrap project, a collaboration between the AAPT, AMTA, Bootstrap, and STEMteachersNYC.
The "Physics First"-based course consists of six units:
- Unit 0
-
Pyret Introduction
- Unit 1
-
Qualitative Energy Model
- Unit 2
-
Constant Velocity Model
- Unit 3
-
Uniform Acceleration Model
- Unit 4
-
Balanced Forces Model
- Unit 5
-
Unbalanced Forces Model
- WTF

Teaching Remotely?
If you’re teaching remotely, we’ve assembled an Implementation Notes page that makes specific recommendations for in-person v. remote instruction.
These materials were developed partly through support of the National Science Foundation, (awards 1042210, 1535276, 1648684, and 1738598).
