Physical Science for Middle School Teachers was built around empirical (inquiry based, about 30 different small investigations were performed) and deductive (algebra based) exploration of fundamental physical laws and their subsequent applications to the physical sciences (Geology, Meteorology, Astronomy and Chemistry). One of the guiding principles was the discovery and subsequent application of the principles of energy and energy conservation in all its forms and fields. It was designed for middle and elementary school teachers. It was training them to measure physical quantities using very simple, fundamental apparatus that they will find in their school settings. The students were trained to recognize simple empirical laws in the data by performing the correct graphical analysis on it, this was expanded upon by phrasing appropriate algebraic statements. The power of the algebraic approach was demonstrated by analyzing and predicting similar situations and application of these laws to the physical environment.
