NEXUS Physics
The NEXUS/Physics project was originally created as part of the National Experiment in Undergraduate Science Education (NEXUS) funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in response to national studies that encouraged the development of new programs for biology majors and pre-health care students.
The project was developed by a team of developers beginning in 2010. The class has been delivered at the University of Maryland since 2011 and has been the starting point of classes at other colleges and universities throughout the US.
NEXUS Physics is based on extensive research into student learning and into how biology students learn physics. For more information, see
NEXUS Physics is an open and growing environment linked to the Living Physics Portal. Additional entries can be created and submitted to the Portal for review and addition to the collection. Check out the Home tab for announcement of changes and new materials.
