OUR MISSION

The PEER Physics mission is to engagestudents in doing science in the classroomand developing scientific principles fromevidence. This process of scientific inductionprovides opportunities for students toengage in discussions involving sharedobservations, explanations, models, andconsensus. In this environment, all studentsare invited into the learning community andprovided an environment to learn. Inclusivelearning environments that shift someauthority from the instructor to the studentscan increase student access to sciencediscourse and practices.

PEER Physics Teacher
“Students were finding the answers without me telling them. It was much more meaningful and led to greater retention with my students. I saw the confidence in my students grow.”
PEER Physics Student
“The greatest thing is that if my claims are wrong, there is always encouragement to try and gather new evidence or to think of new ideas. This is how learning in the science classroom should be done.”
PEER Physics School
“PEER Physics has transformed the way our students engage with science. They are not just memorizing facts — they are questioning, investigating, and building real understanding together.”
