Scientific paper

The Design and Technology Academy is an Urban Magnet School, with a diverse population of 450 students. We are part of the Northeast Independent School District (enrollment=63,000) and we are located in San Antonio, Texas. The Academy was founded in 1999, and has used Physics First as the introductory science course for our students. Students are placed into Regular or Pre-AP Physics based on their math level. For all of our students, this is a school of choice.
We will present data that cement the concept of Physics First aggregated over 6 years of results on a state mandated test in science. Our comparison groups are similiar schools within the geographic area that have magnet status, and regular high schools within the area that do not use the Physics First concept.
The presentation will have handouts, and selected charts and graphs using a Powerpoint presentation.
