The curriculum is developed to make adoption easy for teachers. It includes student activities (with instructor manuals) and instructions for both class demonstrations and construction of DIY apparatuses. The pedagogical approach of our curriculum is student-centered and inquiry-based. These activities utilize smartphone sensors in place of typical laboratory sensors. The use of existing smartphones in an educational setting serves to engage students and encourages them to explore physics in their everyday lives without adding any financial burden to school budget.
