Physics in the Educational Mainstream

When physics is taught as the rules of nature, and equations are seen as guides to thinking more than the means to solve mathematical problems, and when mathematical problem solving takes a back seat rather than a front seat, our discipline is available to all students. As such, all students have a foundation for exploring more of the sciences, for physics underlies chemistry, which underlies biology. Physics, the most basic of the sciences, can be in the educational mainstream in every school.
