Rubrics are a valuable way to communicate with students. Our 3D assessment rubrics are thoughtfully designed to provide feedback on content (DCIs and CCCs) and student engagement in science practices. ✅

We’re honored to spotlight the great work happening in Alex Roslales's classes in Compton, CA.

💬 From Alex: "Every student who enters my class at the beginning of the year leaves at the end knowing they can succeed in physics, and I owe that to PEER Physics."

[PEER Physics @PeerPhysics]

When students learn to rely on evidence, they develop the confidence to ask questions, think critically, and challenge assumptions. Science education isn't just about learning facts—it's about empowering students with the tools to navigate the world.

#EvidenceBasedThinking

[PEER Physics @PeerPhysics]

Scientific understanding doesn’t emerge from a single moment—it’s built step by step. Students begin with concrete observations, move through experimentation and modeling, and develop claims grounded in evidence.

#SciencePractices #PEERPhysics #InquiryLearning

[PEER Physics @PeerPhysics]

Research shows that high-quality science instruction mirrors how scientists learn—through collaboration, data analysis, and consensus-building. These practices don’t just foster deep understanding; they also create more inclusive classrooms.

#ScientificInduction #EquityInSTEM

[PEER Physics @PeerPhysics]

Induction is at the heart of scientific discovery. By drawing general conclusions from patterns and evidence, students engage in authentic scientific thinking. This process helps them move beyond memorization to build deep, conceptual understanding.

"The spirit of science isn’t a collection of facts or laws—it’s an intuition of universal connectedness. Our role as educators is to help students make that intuition concrete and valid through exploration and evidence."

Words from Charles Mann (1912)

#SpiritOfScience

We’re honored to hear from students who experience the impact of PEER Physics firsthand. This reflection reminds us why we do what we do: to foster engaging, student-centered learning environments where curiosity and understanding thrive.
