Rather than relying on traditional lectures and textbooks, Modeling Instruction actively engages students in understanding the physical world by constructing and applying conceptual models. This approach organizes high school physics into a small set of scientific models, making the course content more coherent and meaningful for students. In this video, teacher Seth Guiñals-Kupperman explains how he uses Modeling Instruction in his physics classroom.
