Description: This paper, presented at the 2001 Physics Education Research Conference, provides brief description of the aspects of the Visual Quantum Mechanics instructional materials that have been adapted and implemented into a university physical science course for pre-service elementary education majors and various high school physics classrooms. These materials utilize a learning cycle pedagogy involving interactive computer programs and inexpensive devices to introduce basic quantum physics ideas within the context of fundamental physics concepts. The authors discuss how these materials and strategies were adapted and implemented in high school classrooms will be provided. Results regarding student conceptual learning and student/instructor attitudes and beliefs are briefly discussed.
